>>1525346brah u ever seen the average bike of color
high chance its either stolen or is about to be
completely trashed coated in rust and weeds, maybe has one barely working brake and the gears uhh yea never mind
400 $ in helmet fines lmao, that must have been a bad run of luck, but I see it too often
but thankfully bikes dont have too much drama surrounding them, yet...
mostly the contention is around competition for funding non profit ventures
funding goes to those with the most connections to natives or people who know how to work the system for kickbacks
the people most apt to angle for free shit are also those that own three houses
cycle lanes exist here, but get gimped by murderous cagers and gated boomer enclaves,
and almost 100% of people on bikes are casuals
only during summer or corona lockdown is there any great % of people who own bikes that also use them
winter rain wind or night time / after midnight they all disappear
