Toronto’s cycling lobby, led by groups like the Toronto Community Bikeways Coalition (TCBC), claims a surge in bike lane usage, backing their argument with statistics that paint a picture of soaring ridership.

I usually encounter more adult riders on the sidewalk when out and about and even at that it’s just two or three.
