she is not a writer... she is a Blogger. That is what gives her the ability.

Judging by some of the conduct I've observed fellow cyclists engage in while using the Kinzie protected bike lane, the potential problems she foresees developing between cyclists and pedestrians at intersections on Jackson aren't exactly groundless assumptions.

You've seen cyclists engage in shouting matches and people throwing their coffee on eachother?

If it's not terrorists riding past consulates it's food getting thrown. The horrors of bike lanes!

A shouting match...yes, coffee....no. 

 

I think her article, similar to your thread title and comments, was probably intended to be a little on the hyperbolic side, though, don't you think?  All in all, I didn't find her blog post all that bad--or anywhere near the type of anti-cyclist or anti-bike lane ranting that has been seen other places lately.  Hence, why she probably wrote the whole "I welcome them, and imagine they will be very well used during the daily work commute" part.

I'd be interested to hear the details of the shouting match.

Frankly, a very boring blog entry. All shit-stirring hypothesis, too. Yawn.....!
