    “We don’t want to eliminate the bikers, that’s not what we’re trying to do,” said Fisher, while advocating the removal of bikelane, thus eliminating the biker. This smell fishy.

      That has the same vibe as, “I don’t hate black people. I just don’t think they deserve to drink from the same fountain, use the same bathroom, or eat in the same restaurant as me!”

      Rather than advocate for the removal of someone else’s active, green form of transportation, he should be advocating for car pooling, better public transportation, WFH to lessen the burden of commuter traffic, and smaller vehicles.

        Ok but in that case I will be in the middle of the lane to ensure maximum visibility. I would rather a proper bike lane and I am pretty sure the people screaming because they can’t overtake dangerously would rather I had a bike lane even if they don’t know it

        They can still ride on the road

        It’ll make it less safe though

        Lmao.

        And no i’m not exaggerating. The safety of bicycle lane is exactly why there’s an average of 140 cyclist using that bridge daily. Removing it will lower it to a single digit, if not 0. Not many people want to risk their life and ride alongside an american driver.
