New Toronto Cyclists Union

This landed in my inbox and I thought it would interest the many intrepid cyclers in our area: there's a new Toronto Cyclists Union in the works. You can join now to receive updates about its progress.
It will be "Toronto's first membership-driven bicycle advocacy organisation." Here's the concept:

"Working with other groups such as the Toronto Coalition for Active Transportation (TCAT), Advocacy for Respect for Cyclists (ARC), iBikeTO, Toronto Bicycling Network, Biking Toronto, Community Bicycle Network and many others, the Cyclists Union will help provide a loud voice for all bicycle riders."

I don't have to bore you with the many, many good reasons why it's crucial to make cycling around Toronto better and easier, or get on the soapbox about the importance of installing more dedicated bike lanes (even though I like to call them "Delivery Truck Parking Lanes.") So I'll leave you with some inspiration... a pic of one of Ottawa's gorgeous bike/walking paths, right beside the river, proving how GREAT cycling can be in a major urban centre.
Cyclers of the city, unite!
