Ford passed the legislation for ripping up the bike lanes TODAY!!

[Leimonis]

It will route you through smaller roads if you turn off the option "use only main streets".
Its better than google imo.

Looking into it now. Obv Waze is great for driving and I use it religiously when drive especially cuz it shows speed cams, red light cams and cops on the road.
Apparently there’s an app called komoot that’s good for cycling though. I’m driving right now, so not the best time to start downloading apps lol but I’ll look into this.

 

[DesRicardo]

Don't care either way, but to be honest they were half-ass implemented and poorly thought out.

 

[Knuckle Ball]

I’ve always found it weird how Ford aggressively inserts himself into municipal politics in Toronto…it’s like he can’t let go of his old grudges from back when he and his crack-addled brother were involved in Toronto politics. I still can’t get my head around how Ontarians elected this fool.

smh

Hogwash.

I am well north of 60, live further west than you and commute to work by car in southwestern Etobicoke very close to the Mississauga border.

Many ages and demographic sectors cycle.

The difference between you and I apparently is that your cohorts are the crybaby elitists.

C'mon. Your standard Twitter bike lane ranter is a fitness dude who lives and works downtown. No one else has the time or opportunity.

The normal person who needs a car and lives downtown adjacent is a person who has a job in the burbs or else needs the car for family tasks. The person I always think of is my next door neighbour who has 2 kids that she takes to hockey practice and works a clerical job in an office in Etobicoke.

The last guy I scrapped with on Twitter is an entertainment lawyer who bikes to his office or works from home and must pull $300k+ and doesn't have kids. But my single mom neighbour "oppresses" the lawyer by taking away his carefree bike ride to the office. Total elitist crap.

It's time the ordinary working people took back this city from the rich.

Cyclists were a bigger threat to pedestrians than drivers ever were. At least most drivers follow the rules most of the time.

Hopefully we will now look for measures to get rid of bikes off designated major roads altogether.

He's still pissed that we really don't want him as mayor.

 

[Frankfooter]

Main roads are predominantly for automobiles.
Not bicycles.
Bicycles can use the smaller streets.

That doesn't work downtown, there are no alternate side road routes.

Quick poll: Who is the dickhead in the circumstance described above? LOL!

That is the legally correct move if there is no bike lane.
You take the entire lane.

That's what everyone will have to do.

[Anbarandy]

cyclists do not know how to ride on the road because they do not have a drivers license

and they simply do not know the rules

The intelligence displayed above is like the world has never seen before.

 

[Anbarandy]

Except the "bottleneck" argument only occurs where bike lanes have removed a lane for cars - like College West of Bathurst.

More world leading intelligent comment.

 

[Anbarandy]

It's elitist.

You favour young, able people who both live and work downtown at the expense of everyone else.

What a load of garbage.

 

[glamphotographer]

Add another lane of congested traffic. It's called induced demand.

Exactly.

Take the lane.

It's much safer than being squeezed by motorists on one size and the curb or parked cars on the other.

Plus is fuckin lawful.

Motorized vehicles do not have any lawful right to monopolize shared use roads.

 

[roddermac]

Fucking idiotic.

Ford is ripping up bike lanes for his drive from home to Queen's Park.
that's the only reason.

He wants to kill 37% of all traffic and force more people into cars.

https://twitter.com/i/web/status/1851950778136633372

Fake liberal news. Move it along.

 

[roddermac]

to all pinko lefty women on this board that have testicles, save them and walk

do not ride bicycles, you will get testicle cancer from riding bikes

love Ford, finally we have an adult in the room

get rid of bike lanes with extreme prejudice

going to celebrate once the bike lanes are gone and drive my car up and down Bloor st all by myself

View attachment 372936

How can those without any balls get testicular cancer.

 

[roddermac]

They also use it only half the year.

Half the year. We're lucky to get 4 months of decent weather in Ontario.

Quick poll: Who is the dickhead in the circumstance described above? LOL!

The lane, the whole fuckin lane as by law also belongs to me too.

Aggressive, reckless, road raging owner of the road in 2 tons of motorized vehicle explains it to the cop:

"That cyclist was in my way in the middle of the lane in front me, pissing me off, so I ran him over."

Mississauga bike lane plan for major road on hold as Ontario Premier Doug Ford’s government bill could block and remove some bicycle tracks

Mississauga bike lane plan for Bloor Street is on hold, city officials say, as Ontario Premier Doug Ford’s government looks to potentially block and remove some bicycle tracks

[Anbarandy]

prove me wrong Albundy

Your quote:

"cyclists do not know how to ride on the road because they do not have a drivers license

and they simply do not know the rules"

Figure it out yourself.

 

[Anbarandy]

if you don't have a license that shows that you know and understand rules of the road

you shouldn't be riding on a public road

Ford is going to change that next

I have a driver's license.

Majority of cyclists also have licenses and motor vehicles.

What makes you believe it's an either/or proposition, besides having and displaying intelligence like the world has never seen before?
