"People hate bike lanes, at least in part, because people hate cyclists. And in fairness, many cyclists give non-cyclists more than a few things to hate. They pedal against traffic. They blow red lights. They wear expensive-looking Lycra jerseys that feel like flashy overkill on city streets. The stereotype skews toward six-figure-earning, middle-aged neckbeards mansplaining about derailleurs. And there's that eternal whiff of superiority embodied by those 'One Less Car' signs sometimes taped to the backs of bike seats, which manage to pack eco-smugness and a grammatical error into three syllables."
"The beauty of active transportation in San Francisco is the incredible diversity of people who bike, scoot, and use other human-scaled mobility. All kinds of people are on bikes every day, getting to work, dropping their kids off, or just for fun," wrote spokesperson Krissa Cavouras in an email to Streetsblog.
