What’s Ontario like for riding a bicycle?

I get honked at, cut off, yelled at and/or threatened about once per week.

Wow that’s nuts. It would really help to teach children how to drive bicycles maybe, so they are more aware as adults.

Bike infrastructure isn’t great. City started having some bike lanes but they aren’t all over the place, and a lot of cars and trucks are still disrespecting those lanes.

Not good. I used to bike everywhere but a portion of motorists have become so openly hostile and vindictive that it is unsafe anyplace infra isn’t fully separated. I’ve been run off the road enough times and I rarely do it anymore, despite that it was one of my favourite things once.

Maybe it’s possible to form an alliance and move politically and legally.

For example being able to use dashcam footage in court and charging it as assault.

That being said, sorry to hear you can’t do it anymore.

We are already benefiting from such movements, eg Critical Mass. Imagine what it would be like without.

Bad enough in my area that I’m surprised our air ambulance helicopters don’t have bike racks for how often they’re picking up mangled cyclists lately.
