TORONTO Mayor ROB FORD - "CYCLISTS ARE A PAIN IN THE ASS"

FORD wants BIKES on SIDEWALKS!!!

In an address that meanders as much as a riverbank bikepath, TORONTO's popular mayoralty hopeful ROB FORD shares his thoughts on active urban transport infrastructure during City Council's pivotal JARVIS STREET BIKE LANE debate, May 2009.

This public performance underscores wide criticism that FORD attacks everything, but has no realistic solutions for anything. Just scattershot rants that resonate with an angry, long-disengaged electorate.

Sadly, comic relief is not always a welcome part of the skill-set that the job demands. We already learned this the hard way with another Rexdale-based businessman, Mel "Nobody" Lastman.

LOL... Anybody else catch on to the concept that Rob has some 'courier friends' downtown? I wonder what they deliver Rob????

[HOOFandCYCLE]

He's referring to me, eh? I asked him a couple years later. I am currently working on a dark comedy called, "With Friends Like Rob Ford..."

[Nicole Bordeaux]

He has a 4 year old? someone breeded for him let alone slept with him???

[Benedict Harris]

I will retract the word ass.

[Jake Wolf]

He and his four year old daughter are riding bicycles and are "smoking along"? Someone call child services. I'm wondering what he is smoking with his daughter.

The Rob Ford Diet consists of all the food you can eat and all the crack you can smoke and deny. If this guy was an MP you would bet he would be a Conservative.  He'd fit right in as a liar and hypocrite.

How is Rob Ford an elected official of any kind? How is he not dead yet? When will he have a massive coronary!? God, this canned ham of a man needs to go away to the farm upstate!

[Liam O'Doherty]

When did Toronto bailout out GM? This involve the Feds and Queen's Park.

[Liam O'Doherty]

Yes, we all know that bikes causes traffic on Don Valley pkwy, and Gardiner Expy.

[Rambonbon]

hes basically saying create a dedicated bike lane that is seperate from the road and beside the sidewalk. good idea. fat bastard.

[Rambonbon]

this guy is the biggest douchebag but if you watch the video long enough he actually has a really good idea. probably would be a lot more effective if he wasn't such a tool.

[Marcus Pierre]

Long Live Rob Ford, He's the coolest ever, of course the media will not tolerate a person who keeps it real, BAM.
