Reread the article. It's a common theme here, there's no "claiming" about it. I walk, I bus, I don't drive. My fiancee does but I don't.
I'm just tired of the things I constantly see, the self proclaimed experts. The fact that an accident happens on Main and it's because it's a race track, the very same week there were two other single car accidents without any mention at all. Why? Because they weren't on the "race track". People that live on the mountain disagreeing with me about Main Street when I actually live ON Main. Photos of King Street at 10:40am going "ooooh look at the wasted space" but no discussion of the exact same street at 8am or 5pm. Pictures of bike racks full on a 14 degree October day as if it somehow proves a point.
It's very one sided and if you dare disagree you get called "strawman" or veiled allusions that some how you're lying.
If you want people to take you seriously, act like you actually give a shit about balance and quit being experts on things you don't really do. Getting out of your car and onto your $3,000 bicycle when the weather is nice isn't buying you any real credit.
If you really have nothing better to do than rant that you had to wait a WHOLE CYCLE to cross the street, you need to rethink your priorities. Not one person I know that actually walks anywhere bitches about crosswalks. But then if I actually personally knew anyone that would whine about something so utterly trivial I probably wouldn't hang around with them anyway.
