As a life long cyclist who is now 65 years old I ask the Province to reconsider the removal of bikel anes to favour cars. Travelling by bike upwards of 50 kilometers many days a week to get from the Toronto East end toYork University and back I have experienced far too many accidents, close calls caused irresponsible or ignorant behaviour by drivers - some of which involved me directly. Cars drive on, Cyclists end up on the pavement. Some never get up. Separate bike lanes offer a degree of protection cyclists can't afford to lose. They save lives. I urge you to protect the most vulnerable of participants in street traffic. Thank you/
