If you're out there today ride safe. If you're delivering food by bike and need a N95 mask, we got a ton of free ones, so come by the Biking Lawyer LLP office at 158 Sterling Rd. Suite 703. This applies to all our @thebikebrigade friends out delivering food to our neighbours in need today too!

I started biking b/c it was the cheapest option - compared to driving or the TTC. I continue to cycle b/c it's the fastest option against all other modes of transport. If the TTC was faster, maybe I'd take it, but right now it's not even close. When I do take transit, it's a GO Train out of Toronto.

Question: if you don't use transit (or only rarely), why is that? Time? Hassle of paying? Limited transit service in your area? Unreliable? Something else? (This is a genuine question to better understand barriers people face with transit, not a judgement that you 'should' be using transit more!).

"Bicycling has done more to emancipate women than anything else." — Susan B. Anthony, 1896. Yet today, women only make up 40% of riders. This International Women’s Day, let’s push for ambitious and inclusive cycling policies that make our cities more equitable places for women and girls. #IWD
