    This exact thing is happening on Vaughn Road – they put new bike lanes in a couple of summers ago and they immediately became parking spots! It's extremely frustrating and there doesn't seem to be any enforcement. Illegal parking has always been a bit of a problem on Vaughn Road but since the bike lanes [...]

    I just updated this post with a link to another Toronto Star on the issue and why police are “powerless” to enforce no parking in bike lanes:

    (Thanks to ” jnyyz” for bring this to my attention.)

    To Compare I asked the Ride the City mapper to make a map from Dufferin and Bloor to Adelaide and Yonge:

    jnyyz,

    My error, I was thinking McCaul not Beverley – which is a beautiful route.

    Duncan,

    Thanks I thought I might have been the route police – wanted to cover my ass and explain the thing at the same time.

    Michael: The first comment, the one with the quoting, is just telling you that this post has been linked to by another post. These are somewhat useful for discovering who is linking to you, although in this instance it is you linking to your own post. You’ll see more of these when Joe sends out [...]

    Thank you jnyyz,

    That’s a really good site. I like the drag and drop start/stop icon thingy.

    I just asked it to make me a Bloor and Dufferin to Adelaide and Young route:

    A very nice route except, with Duncans addition this afternoon my route has TWO parks! :)

    I see it takes the bike lanes [...]

    I’d go with an xtracycle with kid seat and centrestand. A lot easier to get around the city than a bike with trailer

    After reading your “Repairs’ and ‘Karma’ posts today – I’ll say it again, this is great!

    I’ve never read a lifestyle blog – as they’re called, although this isn’t – it’s more like ‘lifestyle revolution’. :)

    Interesting too hearing about Joe’s no-car renovations.

    Are young families doing this sort of thing en mass? Losing the car, [...]
