mudbuttbiking

MudButtbiking is the literary WGO (What's Going On?) of joneboi, a Nelson BC boy transplanted to Toronto ON Canada but with deep roots still planted in Nelson. Joneboi luvs all things biking...road and Mtb.....and the muddier & bloodier the better. Oh yes, lets not forget the wine, culinary fun, music and friends to be enjoyed during the quest to do whatever Canadian adventure presents itself...oh ...aint I keen!

COUNCILLOR BOB FORD SPEAKS!


Yesterday in the Toronto Star, Councillor Bob Ford was quoted;

"I can't support bike lanes. Roads are built for buses, cars, and trucks. My heart bleeds when someone gets killed, but it's their own fault at the end of the day."

Obviously we know someone who didnt get his little red bike when he was young. I urge anyone and everyone to email this cat. If you're a cyclist stand up for your right to be on the road. As a human stand up because the people voted in to office shouldnt be so superior to those they serve.

This is his email;
councillor_ford@toronto.ca

This is his Ward;

I'm getting pissed listening to the politicians talk about going green but not building bike lanes and the Conservation Authorities banning mountain bikes from green space without any input from the various cycle organizations. If we all work together everyone would be happy ('cept for Councillor Ford) and perhaps the solutions for one problem would contribute to solving a greater array of problems. Just a thought.
