Hundreds of cyclists rallied in Nathan Phillips Square on Friday to show their support for the Black Lives Matter movement. At this demonstration, called Critical Mass: Bike for BLMTO, the focus of the rally was solidarity with Black Lives Matter - Toronto. Keiren Alam, founder of BIKEPOC, a group that encourages people of colour to feel comfortable bicycling, is one of the organizers of the Critical Mass ride in support of Black Lives Matter - Toronto. Vision Zero, the city's plan to increase road safety, relies too much on enforcement, which Black Lives Matter Toronto says disproportionately targets Black people, she said. A Black Lives Matter sign is connected to a bicycle at the rally in Nathan Phillips Square.
