I am not a cyclist. In fact…

I am not a cyclist. In fact I commute almost exclusively by car, and have been annoyed by many a cyclist crowding the roads or being otherwise inconsiderate. That said, I still believe it important to support bike infrastructure in the city. Allowing bicycles a place on the roads provides a buffer between pedestrian and vehicle. If we remove bike lanes we’re making our roads an even more hostile place. Even if I find cyclists personally annoying, I’d rather be temporarily inconvenienced and vigilant as a driver than hyper vigilant as a pedestrian
