Toronto’s famous bike-lane guardian remained off the job Monday as cyclists demanded his return to local streets and Twitter. “He’s not back to work yet,” Mike McCormack, president of the Toronto police association, said of parking enforcement officer Kyle Ashley, declining to say why. His cheeky use of Twitter to scold motorists who invade bike lanes earned public kudos from Mayor John Tory and then-chief planner Jennifer Keesmaat. Toronto cyclists heralded a change in tone from police, while others in cities including Copenhagen tweeted applause and envy that their bike lanes are not so well protected. Parking enforcement added two more officers targeting bike lanes and tweeting about the problem.
