Bicycle advocates have it all wrong when they try to justify building protected bike lanes based on the number of cyclist casualties.

You think car advocates had to argue about the number of driver casualties to get most of cities real estate for themselves? No! It’s because they themselves killed scores of pedestrians and bikers.

We should apply the same logic and start having bikers randomly kill car drivers on shared roads, let’s see how fast those protected bike lanes prop up!
