    Cool story, homes.

    In Victoria we reduced multiple 2 lane roadways to one lane, installed concrete barriers to physically separate bike from road, added bike only crossing lights. Multiple tens of kilometers donated to cyclists who…

    still fucking ride all over the goddamn place.

    I used to sympathize. I ride a one wheel. It’s categorically more sketchy than a bike. I never make my risk management anyone else’s problem by my choice of route. It’s a social contract and sadly the cyclist demographic seems to feel they are excluded as signatories. Unfortunately physics keeps pointedly disagreeing with them.
