[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I can’t believe you need it explained to you that anonymously “pointing out” something on a mommy message board is NOT the same thing as advocating for that thing.  Slacktivism, anyone?[/quote]

I can't believe that you're pretending it needs to be explained. Everyone here - those saying there should be more bike lanes, those saying there shouldn't be more bike lines, those say the city should allow Idaho stops, those against, those in favor of more bus lanes, etc. - all now that we're having a discussion on an anonymous board. The fact that the only ones being accused of "slacktivism" are the bus supporters speaks volumes. Claim to be on the same side as someone, then tell them to shut up if they dare open their mouth.

This is why it would be naive for any bus supporter to buy the "we're all on the same side against cars!" line. The idea that bus lanes should be given priority over both car lanes and bike lines has so far gotten attacked more by cyclists in this discussion than by drivers.[/quote]
