In my city we have a street called central avenue which is very congested and unsafe to cycle on. There is a street 1 block over that runs parallel, and has bike lanes. I use that street with the bike lanes daily to commute and run errands. All day long people double park in them because they are too special to find a parking spot, so I have to endanger myself going into traffic to go around them. I fantasize about carrying an aluminum bat so I could hit their mirrors as I cycle by.
You don’t need a bat - just pull them forward as you go past (it’s less daginng, admittedly)
I wonder if there are any groups that recycle old aluminum into making bats now.
Pfffffft… they allow trucks that are higher than a basketball player to go freely on towns, do you really think they give a fuck about children safety?
Youth already bike to school in the bike lanes…
Ya no one in power would give a shit. “Protect the children” has always just been the name of their cudgel they use to beat us down and take what they want.
There is a bike lane on a very busy road in front of a school near me. Cars regularly cross into it, and bikers have died.
