4 years ago we had the mayor bike to school with my 6 year old, within the first :30 seconds they were almost hit by a driver on live TV. Every leader should be required to ride a bike (if able) with a 6 year old before they provide any insight/direction on bike infrastructure.

One reason why I think it’s important to continue to highlight the absurdity on our streets is that most people just don’t see it. Despite it being obvious to some, so many don't have real clarity because we have done such an incredible job of normalizing this imbalance.

Tip: if you almost hit me, my family or anyone with your car. Do not give a cute little wave. This is violent behaviour that once again gets treated as a little “whoopsie”
Pull over, stop your car and take some time to think about how you almost killed someone and their family.
