I work at Bay and Wellesley and there is a bike share station in front of my office. Every morning the station gets full and every afternoon the station becomes empty. What do you think this means?Also I hardly ever see anyone using the bike-sharing system downtown, and I hardly ever see anyone using the bike racks on TTC buses.
Why would they analyze absolute numbers instead of relative numbers? Wouldn't it make more sense to look at the percentage of accidents?Detailed data needs to be collected about how many accidents occur on this bike lane. If the number of accidents goes up (which could happen if the number of people riding bikes on Bloor goes up) then that would be a good reason to get rid lf this.
I am not terribly surprised by the outcome, but I would have thought that the vote would be a lot closer.
City council seems to be terribly out of touch with most residents of Toronto. I doubt it if most residents of Toronto have been on a bike for years and doubt it if most people support bike lanes or care about bike lanes. I don't understand why John Tory supports this.

I think that a lot of people share the same views as me and do not support bike lanes, but this view is not popular on UrbanToronto. If you look at the comments in various CBC articles on Bloor bike lanes I see a lot of anti-bike commenters. Many other people share the view that riding bikes in Toronto is dangerous.
judging from how many people I see riding bikes in Toronto. From what I can tell, bicyclists are a very small minority of the population with a disproportionate amount of power on city council. .

Kingston has been doing a lot to encouraging cycling from what I hear from people who live there. I think andrewpmk needs to go a lot further than that.
