this attitude really helps improve cyclists' reputation.
- ak217 8mo agoTo be honest with you I really don't give a shit about my reputation when it comes to this, I care about me and my kids not getting splatted by a speeding SUV when we dare to use the street, because I face this situation daily.
- tonymet 8mo agoYou'll never succeed with this attitude.
- ak217 8mo agoWhere I live, our work has definitely been successful. The cities I bike in have been steadily improving their bike lane and pedestrian networks, and increasingly prioritizing them in plans and projects - though there is a long way to go.
- Mawr 8mo agoNo worries, it's already happening and your resistance to the status quo changing is expected and accounted for. Try to bike to work sometime — it's good for the soul. And your health of course.
- tonymet 8mo agoHow smug of you.
- Mawr 8mo agoWhat attitude do you expect from marginalized groups? Suffragists, slaves? Ring a bell? If you think I'm exaggerating or something, I'm really not. You were born into a world already bulldozed for cars so you literally can't imagine an alternative reality. You're broken — can't see the world for what it is objectively.
- tonymet 8mo agoAre rollerbladers marginalized? Cross country skiers ? It’s a hobby. This isn’t a civil rights movement, and it’s insulting to call cyclists “marginalized” like blacks , women and gays were.
