That's like saying "I'm pro-life and anti-gun control".
Oh. Wait.
Edit: Guy confirmed that he is, indeed, pro-life and anti-gun control.
Even better is the pro life /pro death penalty.

I can at least see the logic in that one. No child is born deserving to die, but some adults have absolutely earned it.

who the fuck said anything about novelty?
I disagree, but I’ve definitely heard this argument before. NYC bike lanes are almost never respected. Cyclists need to be just as aware in a bike lane as they are splitting lanes.
Yep the concept is called "vehicular cycling". Proponents argue that cyclists fare the best when they act like and are treated as any other vehicle in traffic. It's bullshit of course, cyclists are safer in dedicated infrastructure and we should try to transform urban areas to be less car-centric and more walkable in general.
Oh The Urbanity! youtube channel made a video about this in particular: https://youtu.be/XpnZy7RrO3I

Places that implement bike lanes in a decent way have physical dividers between the car and bike lanes, not just paint.

If we add a novelty bike lane, what's next? Novelty unicycle lane? Novelty camel lane? There is no end to silly positions on things that nobody is asking for but I can pretend they do. You people need some common sense.

This is funny to me because the one time I was in NYC, the streets were empty but the sidewalks were congested as fuck.
Dave isn’t very bright
That's obvious. He pays to use Twitter.
Dave must be an "avid cyclist" you see at public meetings.
Weird. I had a convo with one who said that protected bike lanes in crowded streets are dangerous as ambulances cannot get through the tight traffic.
And parallel to that was a fully car-restricted street. As an ambulance driver I would take that, as it is likely free.
So I think car-free roads are better, but it feels wrong being restricted to smaller roads when using the bike, especially if shops etc are all on bigger roads.
