Just to compare, this is the utopian dream for Toronto:

There are approx. 18 cars and trucks in that image.

They are taking up SIGNIFICANTLY more space, and are causing traffic.

Still, we keep saying, “give us more of this, please!”.

Insanity or stupidity?

    FWIW, I was able to run errands by bike in this kind of weather just the other day:

    Congrats on not being disabled. Not everyone is.

      I’m missing an internal organ due to illness. My health improved tremendously after I took up cycling.

      I recently watched a interview where this dude with one leg biked a fixie up a mountain… while doing the interview!

      Cycling, including on an e-bike, fat tire bike, trike, or recumbent, can be highly accessible when divers arent trying to kill you.

      And if a disability prevents someone from cycling, they are safer out in public when fewer people are driving.
