Bike lanes are typically seen as being environmentally friendly. But some Bay Area leaders say the one on the Richmond-San Rafael Bridge is causing an increase in pollution.
“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
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.

But then how will they use their Ford F40000 Fleshreaper™ “blood for the car god”© to sacrifice to moloch?
Comparing transportation modes with racism? Damn
They can still bike around in their driveways or whatever they do.
They can still ride on the road, you’re exaggerating
It’ll make it less safe though

Lmao.
