Wish Democrats in the House and Senate could also do something…
I feel similar. 5km to work for me and I ride it every day. Probably twice a week I have a bad encounter with a car. Usually just them not noticing me on a crosswalk (which is why I always pretend I’m invisible). And in my city, we have far above the national average of bike deaths from cars.
But I still enjoy biking, and don’t enjoy driving. And think cars ruin cities. And want change. I guess that’s enough for me to ignore the serious risks.
It’s actually an amazing feeling when this happens. Makes me pedal way harder.
I’d bet a bunch of them would rather be on their bikes with you if there were decent bike infrastructure…
I also wish they would call for protests over some of the heinous things. Break through with messaging. Make it clearer what the Republicans are doing. Some credit is due, though.
