Duncans City Ride: My One and Only Cycling Complaint about Toronto

posted by Joe on Wednesday, November 25, 2009

Ok, the headline of this post is a little misleading. I have plenty of complaints about cycling in Toronto. And, if you read BlogTO, you know that there's a list and growing discussion of even more gripes going on there.
But... and this is a big BUT... nothing outweighs the benefits of cycling in Toronto...
We have trails through ravines!
We have a growing bike lane network!
We're busting cops for parking in bike lanes!
We have a cyclists union!
We look damn good on our bikes!
We have more than 70 bike shops in Toronto!
However, I do have one big complaint... and boy-oh-boy is it a doosie!
There are simply not enough cyclists in Toronto.
That's it, that's my complaint.
Some days it's just so lonely. I know there are thousands upon thousands of cyclists around. But, I want to see more... don't you?
