I am both a cyclist and a driver, but I oppose putting in bike lanes on major roads in Toronto. Our city has enough congestion and removing car lanes to put in bike lanes is not fair and does not take into account the reality of traffic in Toronto today. Our climate does not allow for cyclists to operate 365 days of the year, so there are times when bike lanes are not used at all. Cars, on the other hand, are on the road every day, in 99% of weather conditions and at all times of the day and night.
Statistics seem to indicate that businesses thrive and bike traffic is up when bike lanes are installed, but I sincerely question those statistics.
At present, those of us who drive gasoline powered cars pay for road maintenance at the gas pump. Drivers of electric cars and cyclists do not. I find this very unfair. The hard-core cyclists are not contributing to their exclusive lanes.
