One Neighborhood’s ‘Bizarre Culture War’ Over Bike Lanes
One Neighborhood’s ‘Bizarre Culture War’ Over Bike Lanes
A kerfuffle erupts over sharing the street in Queens, New York, where new bike lanes have replaced some parking spaces in residential areas.
You're viewing a single thread.
If I were a cyclist in that neighbourhood I would ride my bike through the no bike lanes signs. If you won't let me have a lane where else do you expect me to cycle?
Ride safely in these particular streets, follow every traffic law and take the lane. People might hate you, or realize a protected area will keep the traffic separated sO pEoPlE cAn gO fAsT.
I don't like irritating people I disagree with as a tactic, but sometimes a little friction helps to make a point.
Of course, the doofi may decide to try banning bicycles outright instead 🤦
The lanes already exist so in reality I would be using the lanes but my previous comment is the overall sentiment I have.
"Everyone drives here" is such a biased reason for no bike lanes and the fact it connects kids to schools should make this a non protestable issue. Are you able to protest a school bus stop because your neighbours have kids but you don't?

People literally do that though.
Every time I ride by id yell "no car lanes!"
