More pedestrian infrastructure is needed for workers and those using public transportation. However cyclists have got to be the most selfish people on the planet. Imagine forcing drivers to indulge my favorite sport while I practice in the middle of the road while crying about safety. This is all about your hobby, not green transportation. Just because you fund more bike lanes doesn’t mean people will actually use them. There’s only so many cyclists. Not to mention I bet these are all upper middle class and higher income people (all races) who totally gentrified the city and now want to act like they’re some kind of victims. Go ride your bike in a park or on a mountain.

I don't even know what point you're trying to make. I think you have car brain.

Cycling is no more a hobby than driving is.

Not for most cyclists. Be honest.

Lol “my anecdotal experience is everyone’s reality.”

Biking is how I buy groceries and go to work. This isn’t a hobby. The only difference between my bike and a car is that it costs me >$150 a year to maintain (and it’s a single speed) and it doesn’t have the potential to kill people.
