For the passionate group that makes up Toronto’s cycling community, that representation doesn’t come a moment too soon. On her first day as Toronto’s new mayor, Chow will join CycleTO, a Toronto advocacy group for local cyclists, in a morning ride to City Hall, where Chow will provide brief remarks. Representatives for Chow confirmed that she cycles to work regularly.
Chow’s symbolic ride to her first day in office follows a chaotic election, which featured over 100 candidates and several hot-button issues, including Toronto’s bike lanes. Longfield says her choice to ride could signal even more progress on urban infrastructure for cyclists in the years to come. Ultimately, says Longfield, infrastructure like bike lanes serves far more than the cycling community.
Albert Koehl, an environmental lawyer and coordinator for Community Bikeways, echoed Longfield’s sentiments, saying that a cyclist like Chow in the mayor’s office signifies easier times ahead for Toronto’s cycling communities.
