walkabout 11 hours ago

Yes, of course. But the bikes are the ones making the space those murder-machines operate in operate differently from how it usually does, which is inherently not great.

I’d like to see car use reduced as much as the next sane person, but I still go “ah, goddamnit” when I see a bicyclist approaching an intersection or come up on one going uphill on a twisty no-shoulder 35+ mph road.

    You can choose to stop doing that.

      Huh? I react that way because it introduces a lot of chaos to the situation. That won’t change even if I stop minding that chaos has been introduced to a dangerous situation.

        It isn't chaos. It's your subjective assessment that you are now sharing the road with another, different vehicle and that this is a problem.

        That's your choice to make, and the one you're making now is not invalid or indefensible. It does, however, remain a choice.
