The more bike lanes the City builds, the more dead cyclists we're gonna have

Is the garbage bin okay?
I see that the money you've spent on those creative writing classes is really working out for you @Anbarandy!
You might make a career out of this yet!

The garbage bin is in recovery.
The two innocent pedestrians and the one cyclist who "were INVOLVED, yeah right, in the collision with the ACCIDENT, yeah right, prone pickup truck driver" were hospitalized with serious injuries.
The collision reconstructionist experts in this thread are determining apportionments of blame of the two pedestrians and the one cyclist in their collision with the pickup truck.
Of the five cyclists killed this year, four were killed riding where there was no protected cycling lane. Two fatalities occurred on the wide arterial roads in Scarborough with no bike lanes, one was killed on Avenue Road which had no bike lane and one was killed on Bloor Street with only a painted bike lane.
Don't let a fact get in your way or hit your butt on your way off the debate stage, okay?
And what else do all these streets have in common?? Lets see if you're smart enough to figure this out
This. Either ban cars, or ban bicycles, on specific roads. As long as they're both on the same roads, we will continue to see such incidents.
Yup! I'm fine with bike lanes, but dont put them on major arteries like St. Clair, Bloor, Danforth, Eglinton....etc.
Put them all on side streets and you'll reduce accidents by a lot
This.
Ban pedestrians, sidewalks, traffic lights, traffic signals, road signs, road markers, traffic laws.
Put all of the above on side streets and let the wild, wild west of motor vehicle Hunger Games continue!
This above is absurd on its face and wildly divergent from the particulars of this "incident" in this thread.
Seriously injured cyclist in his bike lane and 2 seriously pedestrians minding their own business had zero eff all to do with a rampaging pickup truck driver barreling into them
And what makes the above quoted post so bizarrely ridiculous and absurd is that it is motor vehicles of all shapes and sizes that are the sole perps of urban carnage on our roads.
Kinda makes a slam dunk case for banning motor vehicles from inner city urban Toronto.
The cyclist that died on Bloor St. didn't check their blind spot, swerved into the path of a large truck. Sad and completely unavoidable tragedy.
Were you there?
Did you provide a statement?
Why did she swerve as you stated?
Was it to avoid something that completely blocked the bike lane path in front of her that she was cycling on?
How do you know that she didn't check her blind spot?
Again, were you there to witness that she didn't check her blind spot?
How do you know that the "large truck" driver was NOT being inattentive, distracted and/or careless while driving or worse not being forthright and truthful as to "what happened?
Dead cyclists can't speak.
Because they build bike lanes as part of the regular road.
Go to amsterdam. The amount of cyclists is just crazy!! But the bike path are built at the same time as any roads and are completely separate from the main road.
I seen a video about how bike friendly Amsterdam is compared to Toronto it’s a joke
Be afraid.
First, they came after your masculinity, then they came after your pronouns, now when they come after your motor vehicles, you will not be man enough anymore to resist.
Be very, very afraid, Phyllis.
