It's a bit discouraging to the average Toronto cyclist to read last month that the outgoing General Manager of the TTC (yeah, the head of the transit system here), Rick Ducharme, thinks that Toronto is a city where "the car rules".

With that kind of attitude from a person in that position, it's easy to think "what's the point" in trying to make Toronto more bike-friendly, but I'm reminded of what every single cyclist does when facing a big, seemingly insurmountable hill.

They draw energy from deep within themselves and attack, climbing that hill bit by bit, crank by crank, until they reach the top and enjoy racing down the other side.

Whenever I see a fellow cyclist commuting to work or just getting some groceries, I feel like that hill is a little less insurmountable.
