Every day, sun, rain, snow i commute along the Bllor bike lane from my home to work. I sold my car and only ride and i'm very thankful for the bike line. Here are my top reasons
1 - I turly feel safe. Lets be honest there is a pecking order on Toronto streets and vehicles trump bikes and when i'm on a non bike lane street i'm always on my guard and have had many missess (famously cars will quickly see if htey can pass a street car and fail to see me next to it )

2 - its faster than taking a car or public transit. Yes i get to work approx 5-10m sooner on my bike

3 - I do most of my daily shopping needs (groceries, butcher, pharmacy liquor store etc) along my bike route as i go home. Bloor street offers all of these and i am alswasy stopping off at a store. Never did i do this with a car.

4 - i leave zero ipact on the enviroment and get some exercise to boot. The later is important as i have a desk job and though i love the idea of coming home and going to the gym ...its hard. But getting on my bike for 60m a day (30m each way) improves my health

5 - I feel invirorated when i get to work. There is nothing better than on a sunny day coming in after a 30m ride. It has become a highlight of my day

please keep the bike lanes.....please
