Two true things about Toronto's graduation into its cycling adolescence:
1. It is not reasonable to expect that you can travel everywhere as fast as you can without any regard for what is happening around you
2. There is a speed at which cycling on the sidewalk is safer/preferred

What is this worth to you, Toronto? You wanna whine about a “tax grab?” Or you wanna celebrate a public safety measure that saves people’s lives, including children’s?
Automated speed cameras reduced the proportion of aggressive driving and speeding in Toronto by almost half, according to a new study.
The study looks at 250 different locations across Toronto from July 2020 and December 2022.

Has anybody else noticed a precipitous decline in bike parking recently, especially along major routes that have been recently rebuilt (even when the rebuild installed bike lanes)?
I know more people are riding, but it also feels like there are just many fewer places to park.

A marker of many great cities is that their residents are all assholes. Toronto is really growing into its own on this, but whereas it's essential in places like New York and London, in Toronto it's insufferable because it's not undergirded by an equally intense pride in the city

Parkside chopped again & yesterday I went to see the Dufferin camera chopped. The tolerated lawlessness of drivers coupled w their campaigns to prevent bus lanes etc - time to stop consulting & make real changes. Feckless police are useless.
