It is not only important…

It is not only important that we build bike infrastructure, but that we discourage vehicle use wherever we can. Cyclists are environmental heroes. Why doesn’t anyone attribute gridlock to the fact that individuals are buying SUVs and trucks instead of sedans and compact cars, not to mention that personal vehicles are 12% longer than they were 20 years ago? It’s shameful that cyclists and bike lanes are blamed, when these and other factors, like the province and feds chronically underfunding the TTC and cutting train service are to blame? Look at the whole picture, and the impace of cyclists and bikelanes fades away. Do the right thing and encourage/subsidize greener modes of transportation.
