I don't think it's possible to convey how much Ford hates Toronto. He's so mad that the WASPs never accepted him even after he acquired wealth.

The bike thing goes back to his brother's time as mayor and his time on City Council. A mayor can't ban bike lanes (especially without council support) but the provincial government sure can. They did cancel transit projects tho!

Bikes became a symbol of leftists.

It wouldn’t be vintage Don Cherry if it didn’t cause a buzz. “I’m wearing pinko for for all the pinkos out there that ride bicycles and everything,” Mr. Cherry said in a speech he delivered at Rob Ford’s inauguration on Tuesday, donning a bright pink suit. His shots at the left did not go unnoticed, and may add new life to a word that has perhaps lost some of its bite in recent years.

Simpler times 😅
