So let's see, the arguments in favor of using "cycling advocacy" as a means of boosting the profits of a few real estate developers in downtown brooklyn and keeping it as deadly as possible everywhere else include:
-There's already a draconian $1000 fine and 7 day license suspension for crashing into someone and dragging their corpse for 20 miles in the wheel well of your tesla, and fines double if you do it again within 30 days, haven't drivers suffered enough?
-Making drivers more hesitant to kill people will actually reduce the number of cyclists because... it just will ok? People don't care about a $1000 fine so let's not try to change any of that, just giebs real estate developer monies nao!
-We can just turn this abandoned train line in allentown into a park so that at least half of the 10 commuters who live in bethlehem can go directly to and from the 5 in-person office jobs that still exist just like the 1950s and cars, except with bikes, radial commuting is totally the wave of the future guise! Also we can put an espresso shop at the halfway point so that freds can clop around in their carbon fiber sole shoes on saturday morning between.8am and 1pm, this will totally make cycling more inclusive and if you disagree with me you hate women
Anything else?
