Much Ado About Bicycles

Screw tortured Afghan detainees or human rights violations, if you really want to piss people off, just install some bike lanes.

People are quite honestly freaking out about Jarvis dropping from five lanes to four; and I get it, no one wants a longer commute.

At the same time people act like the roads going through downtown can just get bigger and bigger and that alone will solve our traffic congestion woes.

What really amuses me is the fact that so many complaints over this make it out like its a conspiracy theory against motorists. Yes, sitting in City Hall, (or I’m sorry, is that the bike bureaucracy now?) Miller is slowing rubbing his hand together gleefully like a little chipmunk of evil. An evil witchy cackle too, just to fully punctuate how happy he is for sticking it to all those car owners.

Come on people! This is not about anyone being out to get you. My favourite was actually a comment on another article complaining that placing bike lanes is part of Miller’s “socialist” agenda.  Really? Complaining about socialism while driving on public roads.

Oy! Let’s just say, it’s a good thing that I’m a fan of irony.
