You know Spring has really arrived in Toronto’s when our cycling infrastructure has once again started to bud; as you can see, this year’s harmless plastic bollards are starting to sprout in anticipation of their annual reaping by Toronto’s motorists, providing the “drum roll” sound so many of them enjoy on their way to threatening (or taking!) the lives of cyclists and pedestrians, avoiding culpability with phrases like “they came out of nowhere”, the Toronto motorist’s traditional interpretation of the “vision zero” incantation.
Nature is beautiful.
