1. Why can’t we all just get along?

    “Expansion of Bike Lanes in City Brings Backlash”

    There was only one valid argument against bike lanes by opponents in this article, that they take away parking spaces for delivery trucks. And that was only a few business owners. But everyone else, I don’t understand; especially in NYC where the public transportation is good. Why do people hate bikers so much? One woman was stated as saying “He’s taking away my rights as a driver.” These are the people I hate the most.  The people who argue it’s their “right” but have no real justification.  I guess I can’t see it because I’m on the other side.  I begin to worry that hate crimes will be committed against bikers, people in cars mowing us down for no reason, other than the perception that we are taking their right to that extra 2 or 3 feet of road away.
