Wow, I bike in Ottawa and Gatineau, and have to say that although there are a few rare exceptions, most bikers and cars here are civil. For example, the person unable to let his aged mother out in a bike lane, most bikers here would slow down, and allow the person to cross. From the comments I`ve seen, the aged mother in Toronto would be a target with points! I have to say the drivers I`ve had problems with while on a bike, would probably be a problem as well when I am driving! I am a business visitor to your fair city quite often, and am impressed with your bike lanes, and find most people friendly and courteous. Perhaps the respondents here are not a cross section of your general population?
