All those negatives were planned. Eventually they were going to be used to ban cars, just like Obamacare was meant to fail and usher in single-payer.
My experience with bicyclists in my old little Ga town included single bicyclists on a winding two lane country, double yellow lined no-passing road , riding down the middle of the lane in their tight bicycle shorts that leave no doubt that they have been circumcised, giving the finger to farmers who lightly honk so they can pass the unyielding, road hogging bicyclist. This same bicyclist doesn’t even spend one single dime in the town they inconvenienced so they could have their country road experience, biking through the land that my husband’s ancestors farmed for generations.
Oh, and F you bicyclists who though you were going to get our farmland for nothing so you could have your bikepaths.
Look, ignorant government policy is ignorant policy, whether it is pro-car, anti-car, pro-rail, anti-rail, pro-suburban sprawl or anti-suburban sprawl, or as here, pro-bicycle or anti-bicycle.
The problems caused by policies addressed in this article are not the only possibilities. Bicycle friendly cities are certainly possible without stupid outcomes. Many folks here on FR ride bikes - a lot - and are neither a**holes or liberals.
Exactly, an intelligent analogy from you also, thanks.
I love cycling but that was their plan.
Also like the fake need to reduce carbon in the air formerly called “global warming” is really a plan to re-distribute wealth.
Next they will want self-driving-car-only lanes.
