[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There is a small group of people - and I think many of us know exactly who they are - who seem to think that the best way to preserve that which they hold dearest (and which they irrationally believe to be threatened by bike lanes) is to try to pit cyclists against bus riders, cyclists against disabled people, cyclists against black people and so on and so on. It has utterly no basis in reality whatsoever and is utterly pathetic. Sites like this debase themselves by permitting this nonsense.[/quote]
There are two types of people. One type are people who think that the world revolves around them. The other type are people who try to figure out how we can all get along as best as possible together.

The bicylist holding up the bus “because they can” is the same person as the person who jogs in the middle of the street and the same person who doesn’t yield their car to pedestrians in cross walks. Same behavior, same person.[/quote]

There are plenty of streets where jogging in the middle of the street is perfectly fine during the weekday (like, most of upper NW). If a car is coming, you have plenty of time to move over or hop up onto the curb. If you're jogging on the sidewalk, then you're inconveniencing people who are trying to walk there.[/quote]
Thanks for confirming that you are one of those people. [/quote]
