    This is the same nonsense over and over, placing the impetus for change on the individual where systematic change is required instead.

    Ain’t nobody gonna pay to build bike stuff if nobody rides. Quit whining and show up so we can make the systematic changes necessary.

              Be the change you want to see and buy me a bike. The government and fossil fuels industry won’t make changes to the infrastructure that enables and protects their investments until they see a critical mass of unarmed cyclists, at which point they’ll throw their hands up in the air with a wimpy utterance, “Aww man! Shucks!”, press a button, and poof! Bike lanes everywhere and SUVs 2/3rds their current size. People will magically work within 5 miles of their home and no need or service will be further than that either.

              So quit your winning, quit being a bum, be the change you want to see and buy me an e-bike!
