Toronto

Artist Marie LeBlanc Flanagan has designed an arcade-style video game that invites players to try their luck at cycling Toronto’s city streets without bike lanes.

The simple game, dubbed “Loser Lane,” allows users to make just two key strokes — left and right — as they maneuver their cyclist avatar through Toronto’s city streets.

Dangers that can end the game include cars, car doors and streetcar tracks.

As a cyclist, the artist said she was infuriated by Premier Doug Ford’s announcement that he would be removing bike lanes from Toronto streets so she poured her energy into creating the video game.
