Conservatives always make leftists sound cooler than they really are lol.
In fact, I took one of my taglines from Trump's anti-trans executive order, "An Anti American Ideology". I'm a trans performer
More of this please, I want NYPOST in tears every single day.
Bikelash
the negative and outsized reaction of car culture to change
- Denial - "We will never be Amsterdam"
- Anger - comes in many forms, from demonization of cyclists as reckless to TV hosts yelling at a mayor <-- this story is here
- Bargaining - resort to last-ditch efforts, e.g. lawsuits
- Depression - self explanatory
- Acceptance - people appear out of nowhere and start biking to school, work, wherever

Solution: become a Bikeshevik.
I fully support the pedal and saddle!
LETS
FUCKIN
GOOOOOOO
Ah the New York Post... hate filled right wing rag.
Where can I enlist for this war on cars?
Either way I read the article and I absolutely love everything they are saying Furnas is going to do.
I want to highlight a thingy in the article, NYT mentions "What about the mobility of seniors?" like they are all allowed to drive or have someone to drive them around if not.
I hadn’t been to nyc for several years until this past weekend and the difference with e-bikes really struck me. There are so many more bike lanes than there used to be, so many more people on their e-bikes than there used to be, and even some cargo e-bikes like Amazon delivery. Manhattan taking “the right road” to transportation! Keep on going!
Oh yeah, my point. Anywhere an e-bike or cargo bike can go, so can personal mobility for seniors. Now that we have bike lanes, let’s take the next lane for golf carts.
This was definitely my type of trip: grab a Dunks on the way out of the house, hop an Acela down to nyc, watch some hockey, walk around tourist areas, and hop the Acela back!
Zohran Mamdani seems like an actually good person. I hope I don't regret saying this.
How many politicians can you name that went on a hunger strike for over 1 week, to be in solidarity with poor people?
🤣 “War on Drivers”. Thanks NY Post, I needed a laugh
Good. Fuck car culture. Fuck the nypost too.

Lmao the New York fuckin Post
Best news I've seen all day!
Wow that was a horrible and very onesided article.
Well it’s the New York post which is basically a tabloid.
Yes. Mods should ban links to it
Nonetheless it gives Furnas free publicity.
I thought it said cat.
If it's so bad why could they only find Ms Rauch to complain about it? Seems like an article about a plan that's hated by a lot of people would be able to find more than one lady to talk to.
Reminds me of how they were using that same tactic for hit pieces about the congestion pricing a year ago.
