Cycling in the city: Dear Rob Ford

Yesterday, the Toronto Cyclist’s Union sent an Action Alert to union members (that’s me!).

Apparently Mayor Ford’s Executive Committee tabled a report that recommended NOT reinstating The Toronto Cycling Advisory Committee (TCAC). The TCAC advises City Council and staff on the design, development and delivery of bicycle policies, programs and facilities to promote and enhance cycling.

Rob Ford, I do not agree with your recommendation.

And I am sending you this email to tell you so.

(feel free to let this inspire you to write to the mayor and his friends if you like!)

And here was his response:

BLECH!!!!
