Today Doug Ford will attack Toronto’s autonomy, and choice for safe streets. As well as our right to choose how we get around our city, and to do so without getting hurt or risking our own safety.
Get ready Ford. There are FAR more cyclists now compared to 2012.
Oct 13. Tom Riley Park Parking Lot. 5pm-late. Bring food, water and layers.
Be prepared to arrive earlier in case crews try to do a sneak attack removing protect lanes and infrastructure.
This fight is more than just about bike lanes.
It’s about demanding municipal governments be respected, and fighting an authoritarian who believes he can do anything against a city’s own wishes.
This is your Dutch moment Toronto!
Show up to show your support!

How is pointing out that people who don’t own cars need ways to get around a strawman? It directly undermines the point you were making.
Most urban cyclists are not rich white men. The Lycra crowd usually sticks to recreational trails or more rural or suburban roads.
