There’s something to be said for the noise levels of a bike mob.
“This is, like, the quietest revolution ever,” mused Rachel Lissner, while rounding the corner of Bloor Street East. She was among the 1,000 cyclists at Wednesday night’s rally, a protest of the City’s decision to remove a number of bike lanes. It was true: when entire lanes of car traffic are replaced by bicycles, the street becomes a mellower place. Bike bell choruses replace the din of low-groaning motors.
Which was probably the point.
