    How drivers lost all these lanes

    February 2025, no single plate here, just the pattern: Ford cancelled Hamilton’s funded LRT, swapped Scarborough’s light rail for a subway, bused the riders, then banned bike lanes. Ban them and cyclists ride in front of cars, because a bike and an SUV can’t share one lane — as Ontario’s 1-metre passing law already admits.…

    Drivers learn what losing bike lanes means to them

    Shot on February 26, 2025. With the bike lane ripped out, a bike and a truck cannot safely share one lane, so the cyclist belongs out front at bike speed – Ontario passed the 1-metre passing law because it knows that clearance is necessary. Doug Ford calls this faster roads. #BikeLaneBlockedBy

    Showing drivers what removing the Bloor bike lanes means

    On Bloor Street on February 26, 2025, with the bike lanes gone, cyclists ride in the traffic lane and drivers sit behind them — exactly what Doug Ford’s bike lane ban looks like from the road.

    University Avenue drivers feel the bikelane ban

    Christine Hogarth is out

    Ontario tore out the lanes and banned new ones, so cyclists ride slowly in front of traffic — the province’s own 1-metre passing law proves it knows a bike and a car can’t share one lane. Ford won reelection anyway; Christine Hogarth, the MPP who deleted the Bloor lane, lost hers, and cyclists took some…

    Bloor Street drivers swerve into oncoming traffic after Doug Ford’s bike lane ban

    On Bloor Street cyclists ride slowly in front of traffic, and drivers swerve into oncoming traffic to pass them — a bike and an SUV cannot safely share one lane, which is why Ontario’s 1-metre passing law exists.

    Christine Hogarth’s Bloor Street bike lane ban backfired

    Toronto cyclists, wheelchair users and drivers took Bloor Street to protest the bike lane ban MPP Christine Hogarth pushed hard.

    Why aren’t you in a bike lane

    On April 3, 2025 in Toronto, drivers are asked why they don’t see bicycles in the bike lane.
