Into hour 4 of a city council meeting to resolve the grand, yearlong debate over whether my neighborhood's road should have 4 lanes or 3 lanes with bike lanes. 😑

@mattcropp ouch, that sounds painful!
@mattcropp almost literal bike shedding.
@simonv3 Thank you for teaching me that this is a thing! https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/bikeshedding #BikeShedding
@mattcropp gladly! Once you know about it you start seeing it everywhere.

@mattcropp

When I see this kind of bikeshedding I think about a potential way to circumvent it: the less important a decision is, the less people it should involve. If you need to choose the color of the bike shed, then it's should be a one person decision. Investing into another production unit (a new coop)? Maybe more than one person eh?
