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

The majority of news this week was about the Bikes on the TTC Hoax that
some cycling people sent out using an anonymous email website. The email faked a TTC press release (complete with grammar and spelling errors), making unreasonable claims such as the TTC is considering reserving cars on subway trains just for cyclists and their bikes. It's hard to make space for bikes when there isn't enough space for people on the TTC during rush hour.

The senders of the fake press release also stickered/vandalized collector booths across the transit system.

Sending fake emails and putting up fake stickers? Seems a little childish if you ask me. What do *you* think?

The Toronto Star also did an article on the personal laser bikelanes covered in last week's Weekly Wrap-Up. It's like riding your bike in a Star Wars movie.
