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.

@BrooklynSpoke @notjustbikes

Please mute me
for several years, the way bike stans have expressed themselves has indeed seemed arrogant and out of touch, in that bike stans seem to imply that anyone SHOULD be riding in rain/snow

so yes, mute me cause you all are harming bicyling

@Hello57 @BrooklynSpoke @notjustbikes most people aren't qualified to be operating a giant metal box in clear dry weather, let alone rain and snow. Arrogant would be thinking that the city's residents should accommodate the whim of car owners, or that "harming bicycling" was a possible result of calling out drivers who are wearing no pants.
