The specifics of the legislation have not been made public but sources told Global News said the government was considering restrictions on towns and cities removing existing lanes of traffic to create bike lanes.

Absolute clowns.

    Forcing cycling in the primary lane keeps children, the elderly, and the inexperienced from cycling at all. Riding a bike while a car follows you closely (as most drivers do) is very uncomfortable if you feel just slightly insecure in traffic.
    Plus, I personally know 2 people who were run over from behind while cycling in the center of the lane by car drivers.
