For my own sanity — and as the unofficial moderator of The War on Cars account — I'm actively muting anyone who thinks "Not everyone can bike everywhere, you know" is a cogent argument against reducing car dependency.

I've taken the attitude of @notjustbikes to heart and simply don't have patience for it anymore.

I'm happy to have good-faith conversations with people who are new to this and who are genuinely curious about How It All Works, but those aren't the people I mean. The people who aren't worth my time anymore are those who reflexively argue that because biking (or transit or walkable/accessible neighborhoods) won't work for *everyone* it shouldn't work for *anyone.*

@BrooklynSpoke they have had an incredible run of good luck with policy priorities in North America for the last century. They’ll survive.
