Ah, I kind of pity Rob Ford. He's way out in Etobicoke-land... his braincells always under assault by carcinogen-laced car and truck exhaust...From the Star, and picked up by BlogTO:
"I can't support bike lanes. Roads are built for buses, cars, and trucks. My heart bleeds when someone gets killed, but it's their own fault at the end of the day."-Rob Ford, Toronto City Councilor
I'd like to invite Rob to check out archive of Toronto's Weekly Carnage - it's not just cyclists in there... most of it is other people in cars dying, and pedestrians dying. Using your logic it's their fault they were killed because they were in a car, or going for a walk.
And for the record, roads have been around for FAR longer than cars have been. Thousands of years longer... the Roman Empire had a fantastic road system, and not one car! Not even a moped!
Even here in Toronto, roads pre-date cars.
