I commute 5km each way to work, 5 days a week. I do my best to defend the measly 90 kilometres of bike lanes that we have in Toronto.

If you were caught in a bike lane by me, please just apologise, move on, and don't do it again. There is no excuse for parking in a bike lane ... ever ... so don't try to argue about it.

Article from Toronto Star

yonge and bloor, Toronto, ON

There was an article in The Toronto Star's online version talking about cars parking in bike lanes.

This is a bike lane??

Bay and king, Toronto, ON

This was taken at 8am northbound on Bay St between King and Adelaide. What hope do cyclists have when there are more cars in the bike lane than there are in the 'car' lane?

Obtuse driver

college and croft, Toronto, ON

I gave this guy the opportunity to move, he aggressively declined, so I called the parking cops on him.

Hazardous

bay and dundas, Toronto, ON

Everyone knows that hazard lights negate all parking violations.

Personally I think it indicates laziness as in, "Sorry, but I'm too lazy to park legally"

Coach Canada hates cyclists

bay and hagerman, Toronto, ON

Today there were FOUR Coach Canada buses parked outside the Mariott on Bay St. I only took a picture of one of them.

I also noticed that this is actually a tow-away zone. I think I'll be adding a few tow-truck companies to my cell phone contacts :)

Recall on Bay

300 bay st, Toronto, ON

I took the liberty of calling the "How's my driving?" number on the back of this truck to let them know that, well, your driving's not so hot.

Just picking up my son

college and mccaul, Toronto, ON

This guy sat here for 5 minutes blocking the lane, and then proceeded to drive in the bike lane for about 100m once his son showed up a little further down the street. Nice work.

This is my 100th posting. Not bad, given that I only started posting at the start of this summer.

Fixing the lights

college and mccaul, Toronto, ON

Why do these guys have to block the bike lane to repair the traffic lights?

The traffic lights were installed to control the congestion caused by CARS, not bikes, so block the car lane instead.

Bus on Bay

525 bay st, Toronto, ON

This anonymous bus company was parked outside the Mariott on Bay. The driver was adamant that there was nothing he could do.

How about parking legally for a change, birdbrain?
