[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I completely agree. And to show how little I drive despite being in the suburbs, I average a new tank of gas every two months. [b]I just think it’s asinine that a handful of very physically able 
, mostly male, mostly well off bikers are shutting down major traffic Avenues.[/b]

Disabled people can’t bike most of the time, or elderly people, or people with bad knees, or women who worry about safety.

Catering to bikers to this degree and sexist and ableist and I’m so annoyed the nps, who was planning on opening it more, let the bike lobby get to them

Of course, this isn't what is happening. There are many people from wheelchair bound, to little kids, white people, people of color, men, women etc who ride their bikes in the Park, in bike lanes and on our streets. It is dangerous, because people operating their cars have little to no regard to cyclists and pedestrians. As a result, transportation engineers have to reshape our build environment because car operators cannot be trusted in their vehicles.[/quote]
