I finally watched a Not Just Bikes video and it turns out that bike lanes are good for business after all... Sorry for wasting your time everybody.

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?

How do I delete this?
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.

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!

@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?

Bullshit on Bloor. The #1 concern in their petition is “Inaccurate Data from Bike Counter” because they “have reservations about the accuracy of the bike counter located in High Park.”
“we believe that this counter may not be providing an accurate reflection of bike usage”
Why? No reasons given.

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 Bloor—let us lead the way. #StopBill212 #SaveBloor #BalanceOnBloor

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.

Now that I have been injected with the urbanist super serum, I revoke all of my rubbish beliefs about bike lanes causing traffic and hurting businesses.
I now pledge my soul to widening the Bloor West bike lanes and introducing congestion pricing on all cars entering the city. #Urbanism #Toronto
