Happy Holidays from O.U.R.S!

I have been asked to post this via a hand-written note that showed up at work yesterday.
It read like this:

Dear Martin, please post this message on Bike Lane Diary. Thank you very kindly.

"If you want a new bike lane or someting else bike-related installed for Christmas please leave a comment on Bike Lane Diary.

'They say city is broke. We fix. No Charge!'
Happy Holidays and safe travels!

Too funny. Ride on.

Text of the hand-written communique received in my mailbox yesterday together with a CD containing the image posted:
"Hallo from Official Urban Repair Squad.
Our agents inform us that your city is too busy patting itself on back-side about Bike Plan 2001 that they don't bother putting up any bike lane. We come to make roads safe so citizens of Toronto leave car at home and ride bicycle to work making for cleaner air and more friendly city. For to make rush-hour traffic more safely for the bicycle riders we have create a special lane. The "Rush Hour Bike Lane" no hurt business, no loose parking and no need for expensive designer to paint line on road.

Rush Hour Bike Lane is CHEAP CHEAP. Can be done OVERNIGHT.
Then you will see. Less cars. More Bikes. CLEANER CITY.
We hear city is broke. We fix, No charge.

Mass hysteria on Bloor

Well it seems that cyclists will be added to the list of people seeking help in our story below. We have fielded many questions from the media about who painted bike lanes on Bloor and who would have the audacity to do something like that. Apparently some cyclists are upset that the new bike lanes will confuse drivers/cyclists and that cars are parking in the lanes willy nilly. Well the latter just means they are like any other bike lane in Toronto. We at BLD believe that cyclists have a little more sense than to be confused by a few squiggly lines. There are reports though that more than a few drivers have claimed that the lines contain subliminal messages that encourage them to do violent acts to fire hydrants while dressed as a clown.

Maybe it is time that we all take a moment and have a beer while we down our meds.

They Ride Ride Ride On Bloor!
