Ooh look what arrived from @transportationalternatives !
“I have no problem with delivery people, or motor scooters, or even joyriding teenagers.
What I do have a problem with is that the bike lanes are fucking full of these things, and that the people on them often ride like assholes, both in and out of the bike lane.”
Bike Snob says it all. Including the disappointing, oblivious behavior of former bike advocacy groups like #TransAlt
#CarlHeastie remains terrible.
We’ve always needed safe infrastructures for people, but that need is even greater as vehicles have gotten bigger.
More cars, bigger cars, more and more space surrendered in cities to cars.
In 2000, a bike-rider next to a Toyota Camry had 18 inches on either side. Today a bike-rider next to a Ford F-150 has just 4 inches.
Stolen space.
