I just biked home from an office barbq north of Sheppard. I took the right lane for almost the whole way home and "biked vehicularly." (Note to VC advocates: your jargon is awkward.) I had a very smooth ride home with surprisingly few interactions with asshole motorists.
I am still an advocate for bike lanes, of course. VC is great if you are comfortable doing it, but n00bs and couriers alike prefer bike lanes. VC extremists hate bike lanes, but extremists are always wrong.
I also broke a personal speed record on the way home, clocking 59 Km/h. If only I could go so fast on an even grade...

Although this raises the problem of climbing back OUT of bluffers park on a fixed gear, if you want to set a speed record, ride out to Bluffer's Park in Scarborough, and zoom down that hill - you hit 50 just by coasting.
