I live close to my work in Guelph, so I ride my bike to work in the Spring, Summer and Fall and walk in the winter. The bike lanes make me feel safe on the main roads. I am in my fifties and riding to and from work is great exercise. Read more

As an Ontarian, I am appalled that the province is even considering removing infrastructure that literally saves lives. Every single day there are collisions involving cyclists and drivers who are fully protected in their vehicles. Cyclists are your neighbours, family and friends. Read more

I strongly disagree that this bill will reduce gridlock. It is well documented that measures which add more lanes do not reduce traffic, they make traffic worse through induced demand because they lead to more cars on the road. Read more

I stand firmly against Bill 212. As someone who cycles in Toronto – to commute to work, run errands, and to explore the city with friends – I am grateful for the safety bike lanes provide. I am urging you to reject Bill 212 and to: Read more

Once again this government is using a red herring issue, bike lanes, to mask the real intent of the bill which is to fast track Hwy 413. I would remind the government that despite having a majority in the house, the majority did not vote for them. Read more

Biking is my main form of commuting. It saves me money, keeps me active and allows me to get where I need to go faster than any other method. Without bike lanes the chances of getting hit are so much higher. In fact I did get hit when I lived on St. Clair where there were no bike lanes.

Like many Torontonians I ride a bike around the city. It is the fastest way to get around, not to mention the healthiest and most environmentally friendly form of transportation. But biking does come at some personal risk. Read more

Please do not remove bike lanes! I use them almost every day of the week to get to work, all throughout downtown. Toronto’s bike lines are an impressive and vital part of our city, and I am proud that we have them!

Toronto traffic is so horrible and TTC is unreliable which makes biking the most efficient way to get around the city. We’re lucky that we can bike for majority of the year in Toronto unlike my hometown of Edmonton where I could see bike lanes being viewed as inefficient. Read more
