Declassified: Rolling Wheels and Grinding Gears

By • Illustration by Matthew Daley

In this week’s Declassified, Torontonians share their thoughts on the rules of the road, sidewalk, and bike lanes. Summer sure is heating up.

Crash Into Me

At least it’s the cyclist who will have seven years of bad luck. Bike lanes on Bathurst Street in 2020?

R-E-S-P-E-C-T

We all know that in the future bikes will be able to fly, so why bother investing in proper infrastructure right now? Better yet, why not just give people blatantly dangerous directions on how to ride a bike?

Sidewalk Terror

Roller derby girls are tough, but stroller derby moms are tougher.

Sure, you can air things out on Craigslist—I mean, did you see the other posts?—but guys, what is this, I don’t even know.

Lofty Ideals

Hey, are you self-identified high roller who enjoys the finer things in life but at the end of the day would really like to come home to a mini fridge, a microwave, and a totally down-to-earth landlord? Boy, do we have some real estate for you! [via John Semley]

A lot of people do a lot of weird stuff on the internet, and ground zero for commercial e-weirdness is Craigslist. In Declassified, Torontoist combs over our city’s listings to find the best (and worst) of the bunch. Find listings we should include in our next edition? Email them to declassified@torontoist.com.

    Funny how little difference there is between lunatics on Craigslist yelling about cyclists and our current city government.

    Seriously though, cyclists on the sidewalk need to yield to pedestrians. If you don’t, you deserve to get yelled at.

      If you’re a cyclist on the side walk you need to be walking your bike. Period. You want to ride, use the road.

      And god help you if you’re on the sidewalk and there’s a bike lane.

    Haha, I had to look up that “loft” on the Kijiji site. The rent has been reduced to $1195.00 and it’s still not even close to being worth it. The photos show a tiny, crappy, dingy little studio.
