Is it riding into a head-wind on the last stretch of your ride?

That's mine. I hear Danny Glover from ~~Die Hard~~ Lethal Weapon in my head every time...

EDIT: Correct movie referenced

Are there actually nimbys who don’t like dedicated bike lanes, etc? I wouldn’t think would be common. Personally I hate that my city simply cheaps out on infrastructure as a whole. I’d love to see dedicated veloways and actual curbs separating the bike lane instead of just random white strips.

Oh my god dude, I live in LA and you have no idea how unhinged the Nextdoor comments get about bike lanes. These are the kings and queens of carbrain land, the use of land for anything other than single family homes and more lanes is unacceptable!!

You're not from north america, are you?

This is very common here.

I’m from North America. I just don’t comprehend why people would have a problem with bike lanes. Or solar panels for that matter. I keep seeing stories about people throwing hissy fits over solar farms. It’s weird.

Sorry, my bad. I don't either, yah. But some people are so car-centered that they can't imagine life without them.
