@fordnation Bike lanes are not only safe, but they also help reduce traffic and serve as an affordable mode of transportation. 
It's time to #ReverseBill212 and invest in safe and sustainable transportation options like public transit and bike lanes https://t.co/0uKIKDfnFT

Toronto cyclists set to defend bike lane challenge before Ontario’s top court https://t.co/nBcMyEt9X7

[The Biking Lawyer (Dave Shellnutt) @TheBikingLawyer]

"Shellnutt said the video that was entered in court didn’t show anyone making any threats. Shellnutt said his legal team entered it into evidence thinking the charge would be dropped quickly. Instead, it wound its way through the justice system for a year-and-a-half before the charges were withdrawn recently." https://t.co/G7qutgmOFX

In support of the people of Minnesota we ride when they do (Sat Jan 31): "Several cycling groups in Minneapolis are organizing a memorial ride on Saturday beginning near where Alex Pretti was murdered, then riding to Renee Good’s memorial, then to the hospital where Alex was a nurse. 1/2"

Cyclists lead by @Fridays4future went to @Stantec's office to ask why they're helping Ford destroy safe infrastructure. Instead of speaking w concerned citizens, Stantec employees called in Toronto Police who dragged out & arrested two people for trespass to property. 1/2

I’ve sat in committee all day listening to people speak about Bill 212, the bill that speeds up highway construction and rips out bike lanes.

Not a single person has come to speak in support of ripping out the Yonge, Bloor, and University Ave bike lanes, and restricting municipalities from creating new bike lanes.

Not a single one.

On Nov. 21, please join @FFSafeStreets, @RespectTO, @CycleToronto, @TheBikingLawyer, and @thebikebrigade in confronting Ford and his government with the consequences of their dangerous and ineffective Bill 212.
