We need out bike lanes. My family has been using our bikes, in Toronto, since 1959. My husband and I taught our children to ride when they were young. While we kept the younger ones on the sidewalk as they grew older they used the rode with us. Now adults they all use their bikes most days to travel around the city for both work and pleasure. They are teaching their children to bike. While they, and we, either own or have ready access to cars we all prefer to reduce our carbon footprint and often save time by riding our bikes. When the weather is inclement we frequently use TTC. The bike lanes have increased our safety on the roads and shown a great increase in bike usage since our first years of biking. They are an important feature in this city. In travelling we have always been aware of how other countries have better bicycling arrangements.
