It's happening, the worst mayor Toronto has ever had is removing three major recently completed bike lanes at tax payer expense. That's right, Ontario tax payers are footing the bill for Ford to meddle in Toronto municipal infrastructure. This is of course to distract us from failing healthcare and education while appealing to his mostly car centric base.

There is a protest happening Wed. 23rd of October, please come out if you can. https://www.eventbrite.ca/e/rally-ride-for-road-safety-tickets-1045417761667

I hope cyclists start riding together slowly in large groups in the middle of traffic lanes such that cars can't get around them, as they are legally entitled to do.

They really should do this around Etobicoke/Ford leaning areas too...

Wearing signs that say, "Sorry to bother you, Doug Ford destroyed our bike lanes so we're stuck here with you".

It's a hilarious bit of irony, but the more I think about, the more it seems that just driving more would be the most effective way to exacerbate congestion.

At least that way, they can't blame cyclists. #maliciouscompliance
