    2 more drivers get tickets because Doug Ford put bicycles in car traffic

    Two more drivers were ticketed on December 1, 2024 for driving into the wrong lanes — what Doug Ford’s bike lane ban produces.

    Myth: Canadians don’t bike in the winter

    Posted 24 December 2024, this clip tackles the excuse that Canadians don’t ride in winter: people do bike year round, and Doug Ford banned the lanes they depend on.
