    Homemade bike lanes, and by homemade I mean a rattlecan and cardboard.

    Good on them !!! Visit Victoria, they even have turning left traffic light triggers on the roads for bikes.

    Toronto cyclists taking it to the streets and painting their own bike lanes because the city is dragging their feet on the funding to put the promised lanes in. What's even more redonkulous is that the city can apparently easily spend almost $2K to clean up the guerrilla bike lane paintjobs!

    From the page: "Putting in bike lanes is exactly what the Other Urban Repair Squad does. Last week, the group of vigilante cyclists hit a stretch of Bloor between Ossington Ave. and Dufferin St. The two-hour effort it took to put down the lane is meant to protest how long it has taken the city to expand its bike lane program. No one denies its $73 million plan to expand bike lanes around the GTA over the next decade is years behind schedule. For example, Bloor St. is supposed to get a bike lane, between University and Church, sometime within the next three years."

    One thing that I've noticed from moving from Toronto is that Ottawa is incredibly bike friendly. Which probably means that aside from the trails, Toronto is not very bike friendly at all. Some activists got tired of the city's delayed promise for bike lanes and decided to make one themselves. (Thanks, curly789er)

    Guerrilla activists in Toronto are taking matters into their own hands after a multi-million dollar bike path project has faced ridiculous delays. Nice work.
