Overwhelming support for the #Toronto protests to save bike lanes.

Giving the carbrains a taste of their own medicine.
Im willing to bet 80% of the people who protest also own and use a car. Stop being so polarized.
Car owner ≠ car brained
This sort of comment is one of the reasons people antagonise us cyclists. Sigh.
Removing bike lanes truly is a move
Two things:
First, cyclists should start wearing large chains and locks which can be tossed at aggressive / careless drivers. Similar to how pedestrians occasionally carry (usually foam) bricks to motivate the correct behaviour from drivers.
Second, they need to bring this protest to Thug Ford’s riding – https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Etobicoke_North_(provincial_electoral_district) Make his constitents miserable, and you might see a change faster than any other method.
I used to do this and almost got killed for it. It’s all fun and games until you meet a driver who exceeds your crazy.
Those people don’t have any issues with trying to kill you anyway. It’s the 99.99% of people who don’t want a brick through their windshield that you’re preparing for.
