14 hours later and my mentions are still full of angry treatises about badly behaved cyclists. Bike lanes are not a reward for good cyclist behavior! They are infrastructure proven to make cities safer for ALL ROAD USERS. Whatever way cyclists have wronged you is irrelevant to the discussion!

Every conversation about bike lanes is like: "Car crashes kill a huge number of people every day, including pedestrians, cyclists, & car occupants. Good bike infrastructure has been shown to make everyone safer (& doesn't increase congestion)." "But sometimes cyclists break rules & hit people!"

Having a bad experience with a cyclist should make them want fully separated bike lanes MORE, not less! It will literally keep the bikes away from them!

Some people absolutely have a mental model that it's far worse for "the wrong person" to get something good, than for everybody to be worse off. It's nuts. But they really see good things as immoral if somebody they don't like will use or benefit from the good thing.
