With the price of gas rising, pollution increasing, obesity growing, parking diminishing, & congestion clogging, you would expect government to take action. The humble bike offers a time-tested 100-year old solution that is cheap, accessible, light, quiet, small, personal and pollution-free.
Cars have highways, streetcars have tracks, pedestrians have sidewalks. It’s about time that the bike gets the infrastructure it deserves.
The Take the Tooker campaign is a great start: a proposal to make just one continuous east-west bike lane atop the Bloor-Danforth subway line. A modest request for a vehicle that has earned our respect.
