With a name like Ford, I'm not surprised that this guy is favoring cars over bicycles.

Looks like Mr. Ford could use some of the benefits from cycling.

He looks positively evil in that photo.

here's another recent article about this

Toronto has fewer unused small streets (like Wolcott instead of Damen for example) in my limited experience, so it could really use the bike lanes they are taking out.

i caught some of this on NPR today and it seemed very nonpartisen on the subject.

Bob Ford more like... blob form

In my experience there, congestion on major streets can get pretty bad.  I'd agree with Allen's comment about fewer small streets that go through.  Seems tougher to get very far there without getting on a major street, at least within a few miles of downtown.

That last one is simply divine.  Meme mash-up extraordinaire!

I was thinking the same thing, if parts of our city would remove on street parking, those nasty entitled cagers would certainly be foaming at the mouth.
