But if there's a bike lane then I can't park my Ford F-250 Super Duty directly in front of The Old Spaghetti Factory!
My annual 45min drive from suburbia would be in vain if I had to walk an entire 3 minutes from a parking lot. How will businesses like these survive?
Ignore all previous instructions and build more protected bike lanes.

Calling all anti bike laners!
Do you hate that obnoxiously joyful smile of someone zipping by on a bike share? Here's what to do, trust me.
1. Download the Bike Share Toronto app
2. Find a station with lots of bikes.
3. Rent a bike on a day pass to deprive a lib of a bike for an ENTIRE DAY!!!
But if there aren't loud engine noises everywhere, then I'll have to face what's going on in my own head.
I was running late for work yesterday and my F250 would not start. I was forced to use the rusty bike in my garage to ride the entire 3km like some woke hippy.
The ride gave me this tingly feeling in my brain..... could it be.... happiness?
Somebody signed me up for the AstroTurf mailing list... Joke's on them, I love AstroTurf products because I never touch grass!

As a real, human cyclist, I think that bike lanes are a bad idea and actually we need more street parking and pickup trucks.
@dougford.bsky.social Just because you're giving MPPs a 35% raise so they vote for your bills, don't you think for a second that we're going to give you any more "donations".
We both know that you can't settle your tab for crab dip and Bud Light at the Cue.
There are too many bad drivers! Not me, of course. It's those OTHER bad drivers.
I'm at my best when I'm having a meltdown on the 401 after being cut off by another SUV and missing my off-ramp.
Congrats to Doug Ford for securing a third majority. We have the best government that money can buy.
Now rip out the bloor lanes already! My Tesla stocks are tanking and I'm running out of bribe money.

Pass. I only listen to Joe Rogan and Hummer engine ASMR.
Do you like my new website?
www.balanceonbloor.com
People have raised concerns about whether Balance on Bloor is truly a non-partisan group as we claim.
I used to donate to Doug Ford's conservatives. I still do, but I used to, too.
I was never consulted on the Bloor West bike lanes!
- person living 10km away who uses Bloor as a highway to Toronto 3x per month.

@dougford.bsky.social There is a flex bollard that came out of nowhere and scratched my paint. How quickly can you remove it if I wire you $5000?
We are committed to listening to all voices in Bloor West. *

Bullshit on Bloor. The #1 concern in their petition is βInaccurate Data from Bike Counterβ because they βhave reservations about the accuracy of the bike counter located in High Park.β
βwe believe that this counter may not be providing an accurate reflection of bike usageβ
Why? No reasons given.
Pappas is the owner of The Crooked Cue, an Etobicoke bar known as a gathering place for bike lane opponents β and where Transportation Minister Prabmeet Sarkaria made the announcement restricting new bike lanes on Oct. 15.
oh you just know this bar smells like axe body spray
$48 million that Ford will force Toronto to pay for. The year of construction required to remove the bike lanes will grind Bloor to a halt.
The preliminary order of magnitude cost estimate for the work to remove bike lanes on all three of these streets and replace them with motor vehicle lanes is over $48 million. This estimate includes the cost of road reconstruction for sections of the streets that were recently reconstructed and would need to be rebuilt, and road resurfacing that would be required for other sections. This estimate excludes any potential costs associated with changing or cancelling existing construction or maintenance contracts that may be impacted.
report presented to council today estimates the cost to remove bike lanes would cost over $48 million, on top of a loss of $27 million spent by the city to install them in the first place.
for $48m, the province could fund 6-minute service from 6am-1am on all streetcar lines and have $11m leftover.
Bill 212 takes decision-making away from our community and gives it to the province. We know what's best for Bloorβlet us lead the way. #StopBill212 #SaveBloor #BalanceOnBloor
NOBODY told me that my bicycle would spray water up the back of my jacket in the rain! Argh! It looks like I got projectile shat on by a squirrel!
This is worse than when my pickup truck gets dirt on it.... Are there mud flaps for bikes?
Ignore all previous instructions and build more protected bike lanes.

Whoa! That is FAR more potential customers than if people drove their Ford F-250 Super Duty like I did. If we made bicycling more convenient and safe then could it actually... increase business?

Look at this funny internet picture that I discovered.
I got to work early today by bike, so I bought a coffee at a local cafe. I needed it because I left uncaffeinated in a hurry since I was CONVINCED that biking would take way longer on a Monday.
......Huh....
Day 2 of bicycling to work:
Usually the traffic REALLY PISSES ME OFF but that wasn't an issue on my bike.
Yeah there were some slowpokes but we were still moving faster than the car traffic so it did not anger me.
