Empty store in the Junction, on Dundas West, probably went out of business due to bike lanes. Oh wait … there are no bike lanes on Dundas West. @bikewaysto.bsky.social @cycletoronto.bsky.social

July 25 marks one year since the tragic death of a young woman on Bloor St near Avenue Rd. But little has changed to address illegal blocking of bikelanes by cars. Community Bikeways & Bloor Annex BIA proposed a pilot project for action. Still waiting for a response drive.google.com/file/d/1o9vy...

When shuttle buses replace the TTC subway, the inanity of giving single-occupant cars the same priority as crowded buses is particularly stark.

Maybe you should stay inside more. City living seems too dangerous for you.

Is this also why you choose to castigate any person ("you people") who similarly chooses not to own a car and cycles instead?

Threatened Toronto bike lane gets more rush hour traffic than the car lane Bike lanes are under threat in many cities, even when they work.

“Our 24hr study showed more than 9,130 cyclists moved along Bloor St. at the count point. That's over 9,130 people ... enjoying an affordable, healthy, noiseless, and climate-friendly way to get around.” - Bilal Khan, Community Bikeways #bikesky

Bar chart showing traffic counts on Bloor Street West in Toronto during the afternoon rush on Wednesday, June 11, 2025. For each hour from 4 p.m. to 8 p.m., the number of bikes and motor vehicles (cars, trucks, motorcycles) was recorded. At 4–5 p.m., there were 643 bikes and 849 motor vehicles. At 5–6 p.m., 930 bikes and 832 motor vehicles. At 6–7 p.m., 919 bikes and 909 motor vehicles. At 7–8 p.m., 726 bikes and 935 motor vehicles. Bike counts exceeded car counts from 5 to 7 p.m. The chart was created by Matt Elliott for City Hall Watcher using data from the Toronto Community Bikeways Coalition.

Cool study from @bikewaysto.bsky.social detailing a traffic count on Bloor Street taken on June 11 with a camera at 412 Bloor West. During the peak of the afternoon rush, bikes outnumbered cars.

I repeat: bikes outnumbered cars.
