[quote=Anonymous]The discussions devolve because there is a group who seem to believe that bike safety is a zero-sum game. That bike lanes, whether protected or not, and Idaho stops are an existential threat. That nothing should be done to calm traffic and make roads safer for everyone because some cyclists don’t come to a full and complete stop at signed intersections and some parents don’t require their kids to wear helmets at all times. So they hijack conversations and throw hissy fits. It’s the online version of the community meeting where the loudest and most obnoxious group — usually in the minority is rewarded for their petulant misbehavior. They’re not interested in discussion. They want to stifle discussion. [/quote]
