London (UK), Toronto, Montreal, Paris, all the Netherlands…
So many cities proving that cycling infrastructure can get people out of cars. Yet, cycling infrastructure in most of Canada is either no longer being built or torn down.
Incredibly maddening, especially when drivers complain about traffic, yet here’s a cheap and easy solution for any city.
Conservatives love forcibly imposing their lifestyle on people in the name of “freedom.” It’s amazing how successful they’ve been in getting people to buy into their ass-backwards logic.
Only Conservatives could call “freedom” sitting in a metal cage, surrounded by others in metal cages, when “woke” alternatives (like walking!! 🫢) are freely available to them. There is no logic, only self-harm and the harm of others.
Being stuck in a traffic jam (that you’re only contributing to) counts as freedom, whereas on a bike, you can just wheel your bike past the jam then be on your merry way.
Who has more freedom again?
It really does surprise me that letting a metal box insulating you from the world is what carbrains consider tough and FREE, whereas a bike, that you power with your OWN LEGS is sissy and WOKE! They have it so backwards!
Maybe it’d be helpful to piggyback some buy Canadian attitudes? Because if this keeps up for the next 5 years Canada will be way behind the US on cycling. Right now it’s a shame, but given time it will become genuinely shameful.
