Basically, "We don't have money to build new cycling infrastructure, but we'll pay to remove existing cycling infrastructure!".

If he forces the removal of even a single bike lane, I hope that Ontario cyclists stage ride protests every single week to actually cause congestion and worsen traffic until this guy stops. And so that drivers know how bad it can get, have signs that say "Is this really what you want? We need bike lanes."

Ironically, it may even be more effective if Ontario cyclists started taking their cars everywhere... which is really the source of traffic congestion in the first place.

Toronto cyclists need to get a look at Critical Mass an another bike protest around the world. Coordinate some bike gatherings, ocupy the entire street and cause a lock on traffic a couple of times each month and see how suddenly they're political will for the bike lanes, even by car users.
