There it is, folks, the Ford Government wants us dead.

I was never a hostile cyclist, but I guess I'll need to become one in order to fight against this war for personal safety.

Here's to hoping that DoFo and his cult get stuck in traffic for an eternity.

I presume it is still legal to bike on those streets

For now, it's still legal. But since you can't sue the government if/when you get hurt (or killed), and they've already said that "for your safety" to not ride a bike on those streets when the bike lanes are gone, you have a no-win situation.

Plus, people in cars are now emboldened to abuse cyclists, since the boss said it was ok.
