Millions upon millions of bicycle trips per year is, "we don't see many people biking".
Like who. The homeless people who have the milk crate on the back of their bike. Sifting through city trash cans for discarded beer cans.

So E-bikes and scooters catching fire. Is that also Doug induced hyperbole.
You, oops I mean Doug should also enact legislation and if that legislation is ruled unlawful, should invoke the notwithstanding clause for the millionth time to override the constitution and ban e-bikes, e-vehicles and the like from Toronto.

It's funny how people like yourself were in favor of Dougy's stupid lockdown rules which were unlawful and invoked overnight. But removing useless bike lanes pisses you off.

And when 4 bicycle cops occupy the same whole lane and a motorist runs them over, you would be tempted to acquit the motorist too?
I don’t think I ever saw 4 cops not allowing a car to pass for no reason other than douchebaggery.

Cyclists were a bigger threat to pedestrians than drivers ever were. At least most drivers follow the rules most of the time.
This guy wrote a book about car free cities, one can't accuse him of being pro car that's for sure.

Even he said bikes should not be allowed in a car free city, they just don't mix well with peds.

Seriously? Cops don't engage in douchebaggery?

Why would I allow an aggressive, road hogging, law breaking driver who has endangered me to continue on his merry road raging way?

I have every right to occupy a whole lane especially if it is to cool the raging driver down who has put my safety at risk.

It happens much too often.

I cycle on the road with motor vehicles, dump trucks, streetcar tracks, parked cars, curbs, potholes restricting me to about a foot so of leeway and if a motherfucker aggressive driver puts my safety in peril I will cool this motherfucker's jets down.

I hardly use bike lanes, unless necessary, but many other cyclists need a bike lane to feel some sense of safety.

The logical flaw is that failure on 1 transportation issue is failure on all of them. We all think the crosstown is a fuck-up - although much of the fuckedness likely pre dates Ford. But that doesn't mean that the bike lanes aren't an awful fuck-up as well.

Hopefully they both get fixed.
The autobahn plans predated Hitler.

So Ford is Hitler?

Logic ;)

And it's a fucking joke people.

:rolleyes:

You'll end up getting charged and having a court date.

Or else pissing off a dude who's younger, stronger and tougher than you and getting shoved around.

The notwithstanding clause has never been invoked in Ontario, IIRC.

You must suffer from DDD - Duggler Dysphoria Disease. I understand it's highly contagious and passed from latte to latte at super-elitist, hipster lunch venues.

It's been proven for over 50 years, induced demand. Adding more lanes just adds more cars, it doesn't solve congestion.

After all the bike lanes are gone and added lanes and still stuck in traffic on a 6-lane road, Ford will legalize driving on sidewalks.

I actually doubt very much that you really do that, for your sake

but if you really do, it's just a matter of time before you piss off someone who is already having a bad day

you better quit while you're ahead
Believe me, I have when it has been warranted and it has been on quite a few occasions and on one occasion on Queen S. West in Parkdale a cop on construction duty saw a cabby who repeatedly attempted to interrupt my safe travel by repeatedly angling and abruptly jerking forward the nose of his cab into my path and guess what happened?

Cop walks up to him and says to the cabbie. "You saw me standing in the middle of the road and yet still did this? I can't believe it, what were you thinking, huh?

I gave the cop my statement and biked smiling away, the cabbie did not go anywhere.
