Christ you're an a-hole.

People were injured and killed by an impaired driver operating his vehicle where it should not have been and you want to make it about some idiotic crusade against bike lanes?

Get a life.

I don't support them and I dislike them.

But there is a time ad a place for that discussion and a much better way to bring it up.

But you don't understand that because you're an a-hole.

clp, you're such a massive twat.

The driver was drunk, speeding, and drove into the area of the street that just happened to have bike lanes painted on the pavement. If the bike lane wasn't there, as you've suggested untold times, the cyclists would have still been there, and they would still have been hit. The bike lanes were not a contributing factor.

If I recall correctly, the fatalities in Chicago last year were all in areas without dedicated bike lanes. By you're twisted logic they shouldn't have happened because nothing bad ever happens outside a bike lane. Seriously, you make absolutely no sense whatsoever.

I was sleeping, when suddenly I awoke to some strange noise. My girlfriend was screaming from the living room.

A bike lane was staring through the front room's window. It was so terrifying because BIKE LANES ARE INSANITY AND ARE SO DANGEROUS - STOP THE BIKE LANE INFESTATION! BIKE LANES ARE AIDS! BIKE LANES ARE AUTISM...

clp, yes, you are a class act pansy who hides behind the screen. Rants about how bike lanes are dangerous, and I think you're just a pussy.

Ok, I was laughing at the first 2 paragraphs. You lost me with pansy and pussy. Pansy is questioning masculinity (as if women are less strong than men) and pussy is saying the same thing. Let's not use language like that. It's sexist. As I woman, I will say women are strong. Quite strong. One wishes to be a pussy because whether a cat or a derogatory word for a woman, either are strong and you should be so lucky. I am a woman and you don't see me hiding behind my keyboard. :-/
