This lovely young woman shows a lot of understanding. Too bad most of my peers, at more than twice her age, have so much less sense. If it's not enough for our car culture to endanger those who cannot afford a car and others who choose to commute by bike, we endanger our youth every day. Shame!

The one stretch of GLen Road has been rough for years, just like another nearby piece of South Drive. Maybe it's traffic calming, but it seems strange that we can borrow $25M to re-do a single km of nearby Bloor, maybe with bike lanes, but smoother pavement often eludes us.
Presumably this cycliste knows to go over the the ped crossing bridge over the railway tracks at the top of MacLennan at the west end of Summerhill to avoid a lot of the car-azy roads, though many drivers are okay.
But it seems that a simple act of riding a bike gets one to be a "roadical".
Of more concern may be the implications of the cuts to road repairs unless they're "emergencies" - for whom?, a car-cooned, or a cyclist. The roads are bad enough as it is, and the gutters where we are by law supposed to ride in kinda, are more subject to the problems of freeze-thaw cycles than the crown of the road. More systemic prejudice against safe cycling! with the threat of violence by being run over by a member of the cartillery if we get out of line or in the way.
