[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Bike lanes are the whitest things ever. There's only one group of people who use bike lanes and they ain't black or brown. [/quote] That's because bike lanes tend to get built in the whiter/more affluent areas (where the affluent Black and Brown people who live there also use them). In the non-white/low-income areas, there aren't many bike lanes, and low-income Black and Brown people have to ride on the sidewalk. I really, really, really hope you respond that Black and Brown people don't ride bikes, because that's just plain not true.[/quote] they ride on the sidewalk or on streets with faster traffic and no bike infrastructure, and possibly at night to commute to and from night jobs, which accounts for higher fatality rates. https://theconversation.com/poor-and-black-invisible-cyclists-need-to-be-part-of-post-pandemic-transport-planning-too-139145 [/quote]
