Fuck dofo I watch this traffic all day on Bloor st. Bikes fly by the stop and go traffic. This will improve nothing.

Cyclists are still, as far as I know, entitled to take the full car lane.
It'd be really unfortunate if, now that there's no separated infrastructure, a constant parade of casual cyclists had to get down that road somehow using the car lanes... say for an entire day in shifts...
This doesn't play the way you think. A cyclist weighs at best 100 kg, against 2500 kg of combustion vehicles.
You may be in the right, but you are against entitled criminals at the wheel.
Yeah, no shit. That's what we are dealing with anyway. You think they behave better when we're riding in the gutter? The difference is not worth discussing. The middle of the lane is the safest place for a cyclist.
My e-bike cost 1500 dollars, and it's pretty flash. That might sound like a lot of money, but the cheapest 90s Mitsubishi I could find at a used dealership was 4000. I didn't have 4000 dollars, but I had 1500. I love My bicycle and I love bike lanes. Fuck cars.
Dumb question maybe, but on which pretense can the province force the city of Toronto ? I know laws can be voted, but surely you can't come up with a law that says "No bike lanes in Toronto"...?
Canada has a strange system where the province has total supremacy over city decisions. In my opinion it's a very backwards way to do things but I don't live there so...
