    Hold up. This isn’t an Onion article?!?

    I was completely convinced that this was satire of the removal of racist history. Fucking BIKE LANES?

    I swear this administration only does two things. Finding answers for problems that don’t exist, or creating problems that didn’t exist.

    “Since nearly 80% of the population uses cars to get to work and their important medical appointments, we are taking a closer look at federal guidance to ensure American families have the infrastructure they need,” the spokesperson said. “This is a common sense approach despite the Left’s belief that everyone should ride a bike to their shoebox-sized apartment to eat crickets to achieve a phony climate agenda.”

    Sounds like a seven year old school yard bully.

    That is aggravating.

    HOWEVER

    Bike lanes are something that you, yes you, have a small bit of power over in your local neighborhood. It is feasible to get your city council and planning board to listen if you organize locally.

    I’ve been thinking that we need more protected bike lanes, because people drive so aggressively and recklessly where I just moved to. I’ve only lived here two weeks and already have witnessed a few close calls between motorists and cyclists, which is horrifying tbh
