....why are the cycle activists not marching (cycling) on mass to Toronto Silly Hall? And in response to Paul's accusations about motorists ignoring bike lane bylaws I would bet the number doing so is miniscule to the number of cyclists who do not obey the traffic act.

The real problem with cycling in Toronto is obscured by the euphemism "bicycle lane." Toronto's streets have no bicycle lanes; they have bicycle paint. Bicycle paint is most readily recognized by the following features: it is frequently so worn as to be invisible; in winter it is covered by unplowed snow and ice; and year-round it is ignored by motorists who want a parking space or passing lane.
Note to Councillor Adrian Heaps: It is not those on cellphones and the coffee drinkers who pose the threat; it is those motorists who believe that bicycle lanes infringe on their exclusive right to the entire roadway.
