    Because the cities are being actively altered in a way that transfers space and other resources from cars, to bikes.

    Zero sum game, resources being reallocated, obviously the people whose resources are being taken away are going to view that as a war.

      Won’t anybody think of the poor cars? But seriously, resources are better utilised by bicycles to the benefit of all. There are no losers here other than the oil companies and car manufacturers.

    I honestly think conservative media just tries to start as much shit as possible so they have something to talk about.

    At this point they probably start out by picking some slightly complex idea that’s objectively correct and then work backwards to find a way to disagree with it.
