Toronto Police Services have added more officers to protect the city’s bike lanes.
After the support the city has shown for parking enforcement officer Kyle Ashley, officers Sabrina Kloetzig and Erin Urquhart will now be joining Ashley on the roads.

“Feel free to engage and embrace them the same way you all have me,” wrote Ashley on his Twitter account. “You all asked for clones…they’re pretty darn close.”
According to officer Ashley, Kloetzig and Urquhart will be focusing on lanes east of Spadina, while he monitors bike lanes west of Spadina.
And feel free to engage and embrace them the same way you all have me. You all asked for clones…they’re pretty darn close!

So stay off the bike lanes, drivers… or a $150 ticket may await you.
