Reason #5,692 Why Biking Is Better = No Traffic. I stopped and snapped this photo of all the cars and streetcar lined up at this red light (this is looking east along Carlton to the lights at Jarvis - just beyond this intersection and to the south is Allen Gardens), and the clear path my bike had. I love passing masses of cars like this. Yesterday, I went down Bay to Lakeshore Blvd., and zoomed down the middle of the street, through TONS of cars stuck in traffic, and knew the thrill of being a bike courier. It was lots of fun. Another sidenote here... I took this photo of the traffic and was putting the camera away when a guy came up (not the guy in the jean jacket) and yelled at me that if he was in the photo I should "fucking delete it! cut it! crop it!" I told him "sure" and then rode off. Oh, and this is one stoplight east of yesterday's photo, in case you are wondering.
