… a lot of wonderful things and it is one of the leading cities in the world in so many ways, but one area it lacks badly is its roads. I haven’t been to all the big cities in the world and drove around their suburbs to see where Toronto stands in relative quality, but from the tooth rattling ride I get in the bus each day I can’t imagine it stands up well. A lot of the arterial roads through the city are in horrific state with major pot holes making it an uncomfortable bus ride or drive never mind the nightmare it is on the bike. I understand the city can only fix so many roads at a time and that the winter rules out half a years worth of road work but there are some roads you’d think would be a priority to fix immediately. It is the winters that cause the problems, the water freezes all winter and then creates cracks on the road leaving me for a summer of cycling on my road bike that could do with a set of suspension forks. Rant over!
