A coalition of cycling advocates has launched a court challenge against Ontario’s new provincial legislation mandating the removal of Toronto’s busiest, protected bike lanes. The lawsuit, filed Tuesday by Cycle Toronto and individual cyclists Eva Stanger-Ross and Narada Kiondo, argues the law violates Charter rights to life and security for cyclists and pedestrians.
The reasoning is just entirely backwards. I don’t even bike and I know that adding bike lanes, even without someone using them reduces traffic collisions in cars alone. Not to mention it reduces congestion by reducing the number of lanes.

Every car brain I know bursts in flames when presented with this.
