Fake posters satirically tell Toronto drivers to park illegally in bike lanes
“I’m very frustrated. At times quite angry. I kept my cool there in that instance, but I have to admit it doesn’t happen a lot of the times,” said Pesedor.He said he’s been biking in Toronto for over a decade and acknowledges there is a lack of safety when it comes to bike lanes.
“There’s this dissociation with those who are used to being in a car and those that are cycling,” he said.Pesedor said on Tuesday alone, he noted several instances of cars parked in the bike lane, either to make a delivery or simply to drop someone off.In under an hour of filming on the corner of Bloor and Brunswick, Global News spotted at least five vehicles illegally parked in bike lanes for more than five minutes.
“Seeing that the bike lanes are not reliably available to you makes you rethink if you want to bike,” she said. While the culture in the city may not change towards cyclists soon, Richardson hopes the city takes the step to install greater safety measures in future and current bike lanes. “Metal bollards would be fantastic, they protect gas mains and important government buildings, and I would love to see them protecting people like my family as well,” she said.
