Incredible turnout to protest #Bill212 and the removal of bike lanes. Bike lanes save lives and are worth fighting for. #BikeTO #ONpoli #TOpoli

Drivers too often put their own convenience above the safety of others, even when there is parking just a few feet away, and Doug Ford's anti-bicycle rhetoric further emboldens these drivers to break the law and put lives at risk.

Cyclists are legally allowed to ride on all roads with the exception of 400-series highways, and there is no requirement for a bicycle to get off the road for a driver to pass. Drivers must only pass when safe to do so, and with 1 metre minimum distance. toronto.ca/services-payments…

With bike lanes being ripped up, it's a good time to remind everyone of the legal rights of cyclists under Ontario's Highway Traffic Act. #BikeTO #ONpoli #TOpoli ontario.ca/page/bicycle-safe…

People ride bicycles in the winter now about as much as they did in the summer months of 2018. This has nothing to do with weather, and everything to do with the safe cycling infrastructure that was built. schoolofcities.github.io/bik…

BikeShare only exists in the Toronto core, most of the CMA doesn't even have BikeShare. BikeShare only represents ~12% of ridership, and saw 904,900 rides in August.

Facts and context are important.

The 1.2 per cent of people who commute by bike shouldn’t be clogging primary roads for the over 70 per cent of people who drive. It’s just common sense.
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
Prabmeet is referencing a report on the Toronto CMA in the 2011 census. The outdated figure includes rural and suburban areas outside of the city. It predates the Bloor (2016), University (2020) and Yonge (2021) bike lanes. Toronto has added 115km of bike lanes since 2018. publications.gc.ca/collections/co…
