Not just people on bike, ALL road users.
And that’s just one of many benefits. Quieter, more efficient, cleaner, more pleasant - for everyone.
Build more bike lanes.

People with psychopathic traits and low cognitive ability are over-represented in online political activity.
If someone is being cruel, obnoxious and ridiculous, don't try to reason with them. Chances are you won't get anywhere. Just block.

The USA is an unstable anocracy, not a reliable ally.
Well done Zack Polanski for instead swiftly condemning the blatant crime.
