This week was a huge disappointment for cycling in Toronto. While we move forward with protected bike lanes, the Ford administration sent a strong signal that cars matter more than people on bikes.
Let's send a message back.
Let's ride for Jarvis.
Let's ride for Toronto.
This is a family friendly event where we plan to ride together on Jarvis Street and take lanes of traffic. Come one, come all!
Meet at 6:30 at Allan Gardens off of Jarvis Street

As the Green Party candidate for Toronto Centre, I strongly oppose the removal of the Jarvis St. bike lanes and believe we need to look at all street planning with a complete streets approach so all types of traffic; pedestrian, cyclists and vehicles can move about in a safe and timely manner. Please join us on Wednesday and show your support for complete streets in Toronto.
Its terrible how biking is so hard in Toronto, many Canadian cities are much easier to bike in then Toronto. I love to bike, and I miss being able to do it like in Ottawa
