Political ideals are always about missing the big picture...

 

Also, did the cycling advocates really believe the governments were so keen about cycling initiatives because they were so darned determined to do people a great big favour? Surely the cycling advocates weren't that clueless about the viper's nest they were getting themselves into? If the governments are patting you on the back today then it's guaranteed (every single time) that they'll be punching you in the face tomorrow. The only reason they provided you with that "free" rug was so they could pull it out from under you later on.

 

I mean... what year is it again? Come on. When will people wake up?

Is your suggestion that the City built bike lanes, only to later create a free bike valet and then later ask for a small subsidy to help pay for parking bikes?  This is how devious the City is thinking?  You think the plan was to make revenue?  Sorry if I'm misunderstanding the plan.

So most mornings on my walk to work through the mid-block sidewalk from Cormorant to Pandora, I'll see cyclists roll off the bike lane on Pandora and the majority don't get off their bikes and slowly roll through to the bike room on the back of the Jawl building there.  It doesn't bother me too much typically.  This morning, there were a few more pedestrians in the walkway and two cyclists were rolling through, it was quite congested.  I comments to the riders "C'mon boys, get off your bikes." as one kind of stumbled a bit trying to avoid.  They didn't say anything, maybe I didn't hear them.  For the most part I down play cyclists on sidewalks as there is enough room and I find most go slow enough it's easy to avoid.  This one bugged me tough, likely the cyclist would've been injured more than me if we bumped (there are stairs right there), I understand they have their little bike shoes on but please dismount.  Getting to that age, I may get bothered a little more by the small things.  We will see how tomorrow goes lol.
