Opus 2016-25: Tax Dollars at Work: Pedal Politics

They are taking away your liberty, one lane at a time.

It is typical Progressive Creep.  First they post the signs and pick a few lanes to confiscate in areas where no one will notice.  Have you seen them yet?  There are places where you have a four lane road and the two outer lanes have signs posted saying that it is okay for bicycles to use those lanes.  That means that in rush hour half of the driving surface can be blocked by a few people in spandex and aerodynamic helmets.  It is here and coming to a street near you.

When the frogs don’t jump out of the warm water it is turned it up another notch and before you know it we are all on buses or riding bikes.  If the Progressives and environmentalists (redundant, I know) can make driving so difficult we take the bus they will have succeeded in taking away the freedom of choice that mobility gives us.  Then we can all shop at the government co-op.

  1. They're doing the same thing here, though the former mayor and 30 or so of his buddies are the only ones using those lanes.

  2. bicyclists are the rudest people. take up whole lanes on major highways during rush hour and will not pull over to let people pass.
    we are being forced to make way for bicycles because those who hate us are impoverishing us to the point that bikes are all we can afford. will look like china during rush hour.
    hope there is a really deep place in hell for progressives--who are really regressives.
    the limousines and other cars will be reserved for the communist politicos.

    1. Maybe we can get jobs driving their big, armor plated behemoths. I had not thought of China but that is a great example of where we are going.

      Grace and peace.
