BikingToronto - Information about Cycling in Toronto

An interesting idea was posted the other day in the comments section of the Photo of the Day of Montreal's Bixi being demonstrated in Toronto.

BikingToronto reader Barry el Ditto posted this, and it makes complete sense... why have every Canadian City re-invent the bikesharing system:

Why don't all the cities in Canada that are interested in seting up public bike programs, just go with the BIXI model. It's been thought-out and it's ready to go; in our climate.

The ecoomies of scale would be tremendous.

Across Canada every city could have its own BIXI system. Just pick a different colour and logo for each different city.

This could be part of a Canadian national identity, yet still --through different colours and logos--retain a local identity.

West End Bikeways Open House Meeting

The City of Toronto and the Toronto Cyclists Union are holding an open house to discuss West End Bikeway projects to be completed in 2009 and 2010 in the downtown west end. These projects have been identified in collaboration with cyclists over the past few months. We invite you to attend the open house to learn more about the proposed projects and share your thoughts with us.

Tuesday, March 10, 2009
6:30 p.m. - 8:30 p.m.
Parkdale Public Library, Auditorium
1303 Queen Street West (between Cowan and Brock)

Councillor Gord Perks posted about this on his "Park Post" a few days ago... and includes very interesting links to a couple of PDF documents you may enjoy:

- Summary of all West End BikeWay Idea Submissions from Toronto Residents
- All Submissions mapped out on a map of the west end.

This Open House has been added to the Events Calendar, as well.

2009 Ice Bike Race Photos

Here are some photo collections of the Ice Bike Races from Saturday night.

I didn't hear anything about it beforehand, but apparently they collected money for the cyclist that was purposely hit by a taxi (and subsequently lost his leg) and raised over $1000! Good job!

E-Bike Legislation to be Discussed at Queen's Park

In March (March 9, 11, and 23rd, to be exact), Queen's Park will reviewing amendments (in Bill 126 - PDF file) to Ontario's Highway Traffic Act in public hearings, including amendments concerning "E-Bikes" or "Power Assisted Bicycles", including what they are:

"power-assisted bicycle" means a bicycle that,

(a) is a power-assisted bicycle as defined in subsection2 (1) of the Motor Vehicle Safety Regulations made under the Motor Vehicle Safety Act (Canada),
(b) bears a label affixed by the manufacturer in com-pliance with the definition referred to in clause (a),
(c) has affixed to it pedals that are operable, and
(d) is capable of being propelled solely by muscular power;

[summary courtesy of Cyclometer]

Other parts of the E-Bike amendment include provisions that people under 16 can't operate them, that they must have all the proper lights and safety equipment, and that helmets are mandatory.

You can read the amendments for yourself in the online document (PDF file) here. It's the first paragraph under "Miscellaneous Amendments" on page "iii".

My first impression is that they're trying to legislate E-Bikes as if they are like motorcycles. That's applicable for some types of E-Bikes (like the one pictured above), but definitely not all.

What do you think?

More info about times and dates of the hearings:

The Clerk's Office has confirmed the details for the hearings. They are as follows:
The two sessions are scheduled for Feb 23rd and 25th, Toronto. When the house is in session, the meeting notices are posted the Thursday before the committee is going to meet. So in this case, you can expect the notice to be on the website on Thursday Feb 19th. Here is the link:

http://www.ontla.on.ca/web/committee-proceedings/committee_business.do?locale=en&BillID=2118&CommID=&ParlCommID=8856&BusinessType=Bill&detailPage=notices

Locations/times: Queen's Park, Room 151, in the centre hall, off to side in grand staircase. Monday February 23rd will be 2 - 6pm, and Wednesday February 25th will be 4 - 6pm.

Things can rapidly change so it would be advisable to call the phone number 416-325-3509 or go into the link to ensure that the hearings are still taking place.

Written submissions are also being accepted until 12:00 noon on February 20th.

Podcasting about Cycling comes to Toronto

Toronto now has a podcast all about cycling. It's called "Caught in the Headlights" and, according to its creator and host, Scott Ossington, is:

[about anything] that vaguely relates to cycling and some that have nothing to do with cycling, but what the host might think would interest cyclists.

The first two "episodes" are mainly about the TTC Bike Hoax ("Guerrillas Stickered my TTC") and the Bike Pirates ("Prepare to be Boarded").

It is online courtesy of Derek Chadbourne of the Bike Joint bike shop on Harbord (a few streets west of Bathurst).

Oh ... one technical note - if your computer hates quicktime files (which the podcasts are) like mine does - you can still listen ... in a roundabout way. I personally had to paste the itunes link for each podcast into Winamp (Windows Media Player froze up repeatedly when I tried using that). Leave a comment on this post if you need help doing this, and I'll help you out.

Forum: Bloor and Keele Bike Thief Spotted?

Click Here If you'd like to discuss this in the Forum.

joe started a discussion called Bloor and Keele Bike Thief Spotted?

A recent posting on Craigslist has got a photo of a suspected bike thief in the Bloor St. and Keele St. neighbourhood:

"If you live near Indian Road Crescent and Glenlake and had a large bike stolen on Saturday February 14, 2009 just a few minutes after noon, this man was observed by a few nighbours myself included, first without a bike, then with a bike heading south towards Parkdale.

This is a white male, in his late 20's early 30's about 5'10" with patterned, stylistically short facial hair. This picture was taken of him shortly before he was seen riding away on a bike (he was confronted by nieghbours about the bike as he laughed and rode off).

Proof that BikeLanes are Good for Business

The latest TCAT news bulletin is reporting on a new report from the Clean Air Partnership that shows that bicycle-friendly infrastructure not only doesn't hurt business, it actually helps it:

Contrary to common public perception, the evidence shows that removing on-street parking to install a bicycle lane or widened sidewalk would likely increase not decrease commercial activity. "This report should alleviate concerns that downtown business owners have about on-street bicycle lanes", said Eva Ligeti, Executive Director of the Clean Air Partnership.

The study interviewed 61 merchants and 538 patrons of businesses in the "Annex" section of Bloor Street (between Spadina and Bathurst) in July 2008.

On the question of installing a bike lane and removing half the on‐street parking, almost 75% of businesses thought their business would improve or stay the same, while slightly more than 25% thought the change would bring in fewer customers.

Overall, most visitors get to Bloor Annex on foot, followed by public transit, bicycle and finally car. Amongst those who live or work in the area, two‐thirds walk, 14% cycle, another 14% take public transit, and only 5% drive. For those who do not live or work in the area, 54% take public transit, 20% walk, 16% drive, and 10% cycle.

It's a no-brainer to probably most of us who are interested in bikes and pedestrian-friendly urban planning, but is shocking news to those in society that think that only people who own or exclusively use cars buy things.

Weekly News Wrap-Up: Bike Awards Video, Budget Money and Infrastructure

posted by Joe on Friday, February 13, 2009

Happy Friday! Time for the Weekly News Wrap-Up.

Here's a run down of all the things that hit BikingToronto.com in the last week that you should know about. :)

The News this week is mainly about infrastructure... bikelanes, bridges, trails... and keeping them all free of snow.

Celebrating a Snow-Free Martin-Goodman Trail (with video)

Cyclists in Toronto know that one of the nicest rides in the city is the Martin-Goodman Trail along the waterfront. It's so popular, in fact, that this winter the city is using it as a trail project on keeping bike routes clear after a big hub-bub last winter about snowbanks…

Bike Infrastructure in the Toronto 2009 Operating Budget

The Proposed 2009 Operating Budget for the City of Toronto has been released. It has tax increases and the maintenance of social programs. But, what about bikes?

Speak Out for a Bike-Friendly Jarvis Street

The City wanted feedback about the Jarvis Streetscape Improvement Project. They are considering eliminating 1 of Jarvis' 5 lanes, and needs to decide what should be done with the space. A treed median? Wider sidewalks? Bikelanes?

New Unwin Bridge Coming for Martin Goodman Trail

Those of you who love biking the waterfront via the Martin Goodman Trail will be pleased to know that the new Unwin bridge (just east of the foot of Leslie St.) will be open by March according to Jack Lackey (the Fixer) in the Toronto Star.
(read the post)

There was also some non-infrastructure news too:

University of Toronto BikeChain is Flooded

Mainly of interest to University of Toronto Students and Staff: All this warm weather and rain has had a toll on the BikeChain, which sent out news this morning: Bikechain is closed until further notice DUE TO FLOODING.

And... be sure not to miss the DearToronto.com video of the Toronto Bike Awards:

Video of the Toronto Bike Awards

Anyone who missed the Toronto Bike Awards back in January will want to see the new video posted over on DearToronto.com. They've done a great job capturing the happenings and spirit of the Awards.

New Unwin Bridge Coming for Martin Goodman Trail

Those of you who love biking the waterfront via the Martin Goodman Trail will be pleased to know that the new Unwin bridge (just east of the foot of Leslie St.) will be open by March according to Jack Lackey (the Fixer) in the Toronto Star.

The old bridge was closed in 2006 (I'm assuming for structural reasons, as that was one old bridge). The new one is for people hiking and cycling the Martin Goodman Trail, while a vehicular one will be done by May.

Be sure and check out the "Free Martin Goodman" snow clearing video posted last week.

Speak Out for a Bike-Friendly Jarvis Street

posted by Joe on Wednesday, February 11, 2009

Today is our last day to send in feedback about the Jarvis Streetscape Improvement Project.

The City is looking to eliminate 1 of Jarvis' 5 lanes, and wants your opinion on what should be done with the space. A treed median? Wider sidewalks? Bikelanes?

There has been a lot of support for bikelanes on Jarvis, as it is currently a very dangerous and highway-like biking experience, but drivers in North Toronto and Rosedale are starting to kick up a fuss about losing a "quick link" to downtown, even though city studies show only a few seconds will be added to a trip when the street is reduced from 5 to 4 lanes.

Please email your thoughts

to: jarvis@toronto.ca
cc: mayor_miller@toronto.ca, councillor_rae@toronto.ca, info@bikeunion.to, info@bikingtoronto.com

Clicking that email link should open up an email addressed to the above addresses and with the subject line "I support Bikelanes on Jarvis". Give it a try.

Bike Infrastructure in the Toronto 2009 Operating Budget

You may have seen the news that Toronto's proposed 2009 budget means things like a 4% increase in property taxes, more money for social programs and keeping TTC fares frozen at current levels.

If you're like me, then all of the above is interesting, but you're also curious about how cycling infrastructure is addressed in the proposed $8.6 billion budget.

Here's what the press release says:

Open 70km of additional bike lanes; increase the number of bike stations and bicycle lockers ($0.210M gross, $0 net)

This is in keeping with the overall plan to finish the BikePlan by 2012... you can see the 2008 progress of the BikePlan in this PDF from the Toronto Cycling Advisory Committee.

[thanks to Duarte Da Silva for the press release link]

Forum: Survey on Ethnicity and Cycling in Toronto

Click Here If you'd like to discuss this in the Forum.

Erica started a discussion called Survey on Ethnicity and Cycling in Toronto

"Only white yuppies bike in Toronto". At least that's what I was told when asking people informally. But there is some actual data on the issue, including a small survey in Toronto noting that visible minorities were less interested in cycling than white respondents and a Canada study finding that immigrants bike less than non-immigrants.

Even in bike-friendly countries like Denmark they're realizing that their incoming immigrant population cycles less than the "average" Dane. And if there is a link between a person's ethnic background and the likelihood that they'll use their bike to get around, it could be an issue in encouraging more cycling in Toronto since 47% of Torontonians are visible minorities and over 50% are foreign born.

To find out more on this topic, I'm inviting all Toronto cyclists (that's you!) to fill out a quick 5 minute survey aimed at gathering information on who you think cycles in Toronto as well as who actually does. There's also a space to add your email address, if you'd like to see my final findings.

To complete the survey, click on this link or copy/paste it into a new window: https://www.surveymonkey.com/s.aspx?sm=TH_2f6L1imn922QWQ0gZ9TeA_3d_3d

Thanks in advance for your time.

Celebrating a Snow-Free Martin-Goodman Trail

Cyclists in Toronto know that one of the nicest rides in the city is the Martin-Goodman Trail along the waterfront. It's so popular, in fact, that this winter the city is using it as a trail project on keeping bike routes clear after a big hub-bub last winter about snowbanks covering bikelanes.

Chris Shulgan has made a great short film called "Free Martin-Goodman" that interviews not only the people now using the trail year-round, but also the people who do all the work to move that snow. Chris also wrote an article about it for the Globe and Mail.

Weekly News Wrap-Up: Winter Riding and Training Bike Mechanics

Happy Friday! Time for the Weekly News Wrap-Up.

3 main stories this week... first off, the Toronto Star and the Toronto Sun do write-ups of the Coldest Day of the Year Ride... an event put on by the city to show that even though Toronto winters get cold, it's still fun to ride. It took place on Jan. 30th... statistically the coldest day of the year.

Then, we've got a couple stories about a new project funded by BTAC (Bicycle Trade Association of Canada) where unemployed people get trained to be bicycle mechanics. Last year's high gas prices highlighted the shortage of bike mechanics, and with the economy slowing down, more people may be taking to two wheel to save on gas money... so even more bike mechanics will be needed.

Finally, we've got a link to a Spacing Toronto article from Fred Stabinski, the former Executive Director of the Toronto Coalition for Active Transportation - who is now in Amsterdam, and writes about how every demographic cycles there.

Toronto Star: Annual event highlights winter cycling

Today at noon, winter cycling enthusiasts are gathering for the annual "Coldest Day of the Year Ride," organized by the city to highlight getting around on two wheels in the winter. Winter cycling is feasible, but each time another big snowfall drops on Toronto, there is a challenging lack of traction on the road.

Toronto Sun: Hardy cyclists take Coldest Day challenge

"What we're really trying to draw attention to is the fact that in Toronto, although people may not necessarily want to ride their bike 365 days a year, there are really a lot of nice cycling days in the wintertime," Bouchard said. "There's the attitude that as soon as October hits, you should put your bike in the garage and forget about it. And that's really not the case."
Bicycle Retailer: Retailers Launch Mechanic Training

Armed with a $9,000 grant from the Bicycle Trade Association of Canada, a group of Toronto retailers launched a new training program on Tuesday to help solve one of their biggest business challenges: recruiting qualified mechanics.
Toronto Star: Wheels turning to train jobless as bike mechanics

Toronto has Bike Month and Bike Winter, but what it doesn't have is bike mechanics – or, at least, not enough of them, according to those in the business. "There's an overall shortage" that's only getting worse as more people switch from four wheels to two, says Pete Lilly, owner of Sweet Pete's Bicycle Shop at Bloor and Dufferin Sts.
Spacing Toronto: Parents - Forget the station wagon or SUV

While Toronto does have some bike lanes and a growing bicycling population (as witnessed last summer by overwhelmed bike shops), you don't see as much variety in the cycling population compared to the city's total population. In Amsterdam this isn't the case at all. You see teenagers with their friends, older citizens picking up groceries, and people in slick business suits on their mobile phones pedaling away. And one of the most charming groups among those in the bike lane is parents with their kids.

Feb. 5: Added Yesterday to the Stolen Bike Listing

Blue Leader Bike (College and Spadina)

(Stolen September 6, 2008)
-Leader
-Adventure
-Blue with yellow lettering of the word "Leader"
-A blue mountain bike with fenders. (If I remember correctly the wheel size was 26 inch.)
-It has 15 speeds, with the word "Leader" and "Adventure" on the frame in yellow letters. It has a black bottle holder that is quite flimsy, and had a blue U of T "Skule" stick on the frame(though it can be easily removed). Also had a bell mounted on the right side of the handle bars.
Stolen on September 6, 2008 around 7pm, one block east of College and Spadina (Toronto, Ontario)

Would really love to get it back as it's my first bike and is quite sentimental.
If anyone was in that area, has any information, or has found my bike, please contact me, thanks!

Attached are 2 photos, one was taken long ago before I had fenders installed, the other has fenders that I had installed later on.

Feb. 2: New in the Forum

razzi started a discussion called New to biking and need advice

I have finally sold my car, am moving downtown and have decided to purchase a bike (this week). This will be my first time on a bike since I was a child, and I'm not too young. Can someone please give me the rules of biking in the city? Must I stop at a red light with the traffic, or can I just slow down and then cross the street if no cars are coming? Since it's not really a car I'm driving it shouldn't matter, right? Can I ride on the sidewalk if there aren't too many pedestrians? Is it the law to wear a helmet? If you can answer these questions and anything else I should know I would appreciate it. Thanks so much.
