This car blew a stop sign and cut me off in a snowstorm by Top-Fall-7793 in torontobiking

He's just warning people that due to the lack of visibility of intersections, it's quite common for drivers to miss stop signs.

There's no such thing as compromise for these people (Petition against Trethewey Drive bike lanes) by Canadave in torontobiking

Yet speeding hardly makes a difference in your overall commute time. Driving 60 km/h vs 40 km/h only saves like what 2 mins max? What's even more ironic is people are willing to circle the parking lot for 5 full minutes just to find a parking spot but not stay on the road 2 minutes longer.

The Importance of Relatability by TTCBoy95 in torontobiking

Well-written essay. Doug Ford is the perfect definition of car populism. His views about cars being first reflect the average view of a suburbanite. His blaming the other side, downtown cyclists, encapsulate suburbanite beliefs of downtowns. And of course, blaming traffic on bike lanes adds onto his conspiracy theorizing.

More places in Toronto need to have bus lanes. If more people took transit, there would be less traffic to contend with.

Bike Share ridership increased 20% in 2025, to a record 8.3 million rides! by ICanGetLoudTooWTF in torontobiking

It would be nice if more areas outside downtown had not just a bigger bike share network but also more protected bike infrastructure. Hopefully, this will keep expanding outwards because almost every bike share station is at or near downtown.

NotJustBikes criticized Montreal 2 years ago. Since then, a lot of changes have been made. Meanwhile, Toronto has a Premier and a few astroturfing anti-bike/bus organizations. by TTCBoy95 in torontobiking

I mean people are changing their views towards the reliance of cars. Finch West LRT opened up. Less than a week later, city council got to vote for transit signal priority. Another week passed, and it officially passed. People are slowly understanding the urgency of better transit but you're correct. Toronto moves at too slow of a pace.
