www.nationalobserver.com Advocates celebrate court-ordered pause on Toronto bike lane removalsAn Ontario judge paused the Ford government’s plan to rip out three of Toronto’s major protected bike lanes, handing cycling advocates a symbolic victory.
"Schabas also found the government failed to provide evidence that removing the lanes would alleviate congestion — one of the law’s stated purposes. In contrast, expert testimony presented by the applicants suggested lane removal would likely increase collisions, injuries and even deaths."

Toronto Cycling @lemmy.ca Showroom7561 @lemmy.ca Why does Urbane Cyclist (Toronto bike shop) do this?
Even though I don't live in the city, I enjoy supporting Toronto bike shops because they carry brands that my local shops don't.
I've purchased several items from Urbane, and just saw that they are having a sale for their 28th anniversary. Cool!
One of the items I was looking at was the Apidura packable musette bag.
Urbane lists it at $81, but on sale for $60. This didn't seem right, because I've seen it for around that price at other shops, so I looked again:
- La Bicicletta Toronto: $56 (regular price).
- Dismount Bike Shop (Toronto): $66 (regular price).
- Cyclesmith (Halifax and Dartmouth): $56 (regular price).
- The Cyclepath (Toronto): $66 (regular price).
Look, I can appreciate that "sales" can drive sales, but I know they've done this with other items, and have done it in the past during other sale events.
Is there any reasonable explanation why they would want to damage trust like this? I want to support them, but I don't want to be ripped off in the process.

Toronto Cycling @lemmy.ca Showroom7561 @lemmy.ca Just a reminder that traffic is caused by people driving cars.
The screenshot was taken from a live stream at 1:30pm on a Wednesday, not during long-weekend rush hour.
The Gardiner, just like the 401 and the DVP, are a traffic nightmare nearly all the time, yet they don't have bike lanes on them.
This isn't some strange coincidence or conspiracy.
Car dependency, rather than people riding bikes, taking public transit, or walking, is the real problem causing traffic and gridlock.
