Dear Councillor Ford,

from a cycling discussion board on the net I heard of your statement in

“I can’t support bike lanes.”

As a cyclist, I want to express my support for this position of yours.

Bicycles, like other vehicles[1], belong on the carriageway, so there is
no need to build separate bike lanes.

I am pleased to learn that this is your position, too!

Keep up this good work!
