Don't forget about this: A (WOKE!!!) truck requires fuel which is imported from some other (WOKE!) country, a bike just requires AMERICAN (HELL YEAH!) muscle power
What could be more American than moving around in an individual unregistered vehicle powered by a quarter pounder with cheese, an apple pie and a large diet coke?
YES. Exactly. These people are willingly low-IQ levels and they will do ANYTHING to own the libs— so the best thing we can do is PLAY them like the idiots they are.
In seriousness, you'd think with how seemingly easily these anti-woke people are manipulated, it shouldn't be so hard to convince them of doing the right thing for the wrong reason.
I suppose it can't be that easy or someone would've already tried it, but...
Thing is tho, in most North American cities you're more likely to get splattered by some jackass in his toy F150 if you ride a bike. The North American city needs to be reformed and replanned before cycling can be mass adopted.
I wouldn't say so. Existing infrastructure can be modified to create bike-friendly cities. But what happens most usually is city councils go for the cheapest option which is just painting a line a metre from the curb and calling it a bike lane. Not only is this the cheapest way, it's the least effective and most unsafe way. So when it inevitably fails, the city can go "Oops, oh well, I guess that didn't work" and never have to spend money on making better infrastructure again. The problem has never been the building or the ability to do so. It's always been a political one.
Ride with a rifle on your back. They may not see you but they'll sniff the gun out a mile away and give you a friendly wave as they drive by leaving plenty of room.
Bicycles are the best guerilla transportation. Virtually silent, all-terrain, cheap to build, easy to repair with swappable components and simple tools. If you have a lot of cargo you can strap it on and walk beside it and carry a lot more than you would by hand. No consumables required beyond the provisions that you already need. Easily hidden and has plausible deniability if discovered. Transportation doubles as PT, and it improves battlefield endurance.
We’ve got to emphasise how MANLY and FORD TOUGH them bikes are. WOKE LIBRLLZ drivin round in them there dainty comfy boxes while the REAL MEN do the hard word with MANPOWER
And when you think about it, what's more manly than consuming the flesh of other animals or plants to give you the strength and energy to use your own muscular power to move around, exposed to the elements. That or sitting in a two ton air conditioned metal box that moves at the push of a button.
I'd argue that poltics even played a role in letting the original rich car owners claim the street as theirs which paved the way to make cars common and affordable.
