The mayor of Toronto has said there is no point to build bike lanes because
"I can’t support bike lanes. How many people are riding outside today? We
don’t live in Florida. We don’t have 12 months a year to ride on the bikes."
Oh yeah? In that case, I live in the Very, very Northern Florida!

Detoriating conditions
I just uploaded another masterpiece to youtube. It's from my ride this afternoon, at about 16:30 or so. Funny how the time flies, now there is enough daylight for my camera... the spring will be here soon!
As I wasn't invited to the winter cycling congress, I didn't go there. (I'm a world famous blogger and I was not invited? What a disgrace!) But listening to boring speeches indoors will not give the visitors a good picture of winter cycling. They also had a bike tour so they could try it themselves.
I was so disappointed when I saw the weather reports: temperatures hovering about freezing or just below. There should have been a proper winter weather, -15C would have been fine. That would've been just fine for their bike tour! (evil laugh:-)
But alas, the weather was like this:
I thought the snow coming down was snow and not sleet so I didn't find my camera cover. But it was sleet so the camera clogged up and the end of the video is just a blur. Still, you see there's snow about. And riders on their way home. There was maybe an inch of fresh snow (in the early part of the video) but it was a bit too dark and beyond the capabilities of the camera so the surface of the bikeway is not clearly seen.
