another cyclist hit on the streets of Toronto

Toronto, 2014.07.30

A cyclist was struck by a car a few blocks from where we live; it turns out that it was our city Councillor. I wrote to her, since we've crossed paths on a number of occasions, and she's reported that she'll be fine. The driver will be charged, which is a rarity.

The city's building cycle lanes, but they're only made of a line of paint on the street. Something else is required.

The point isn't revenge. It is justice. Revenge is like a wave that washes up on shore - it always washes back out again. Justice is like the shore - it's still there after the wave comes and goes.
