Let me very clear. If you don’t use a car, you are not part of society. You refuse to support the oil industry. You should be shamed, endangered and attacked.

    So much stupidity in this article. The hospitals were worried about ambulance delays, when the proposed bikelanes are two way, i.e., they are wide enough to serve as a dedicated emergency lane in a pinch.

      Not to mention that reducing drivers often reduces car crashes and injuries, so long as the drivers that switch to biking are adequately protected. So overall there will be less strain on healthcare and emergency services. This is even before factoring in the health benefits cycling has over cars. Someone who switches to biking for 20 years is likely to have less health concerns as they age.
