The propaganda: “Everyone suffers from families being late to school and work, local businesses cut off from customers and seniors experiencing lower air quality from cars stuck in traffic” Clean up in all the aisles. The heads of ABCToronto are going to start exploding. #BikeTO - ThreadSky

If the opponents of bike lanes on Yonge and Bloor prefer to have bike lanes on side streets, why aren't they made already? #topoli #biketo

I'll be crafting an update to this map over the summer.

Like people using different forms of transportation, cyclists like taking the most direct route possible.

I just took a look at their site and their opinions are a hot mess of contradictions. I don't even live in Toronto and find it repulsive pulling the whole "we're just some smol bean centrists" routine.

We need a term for an astroturf campaign that claims to represent rich people in Midtown.

This is based on the ideology that "real" traffic is made up of cars. As if bikes were not traffic, no practical alternative, did not relieve congestions.

Actually they do. Let people get used to the infrastructure and in short time they'll do so much more. https://schoolofcities.github.io/bike-share-toronto/growth

"Everyone suffers when dominant groups have to share anything. It's time to bring balance and give car owners 100% of the available road space."

Lower air quality by having bike lanes?

Original thinking.
