The tables on the road were only there for the inauguration day, but bike lane is here to stay.

Yes, my comment about a Gumby orgy was a serious, reactionary statement about people walking in bike lanes. And somehow an argument for giving cyclists priority on all streets when cars are no more. And a disregard for poor infrastructure.

People should walk where it's safe to walk. Sometimes they don't, which is less safe. There should be safe places for people to walk.

I'm still gonna yell at people who walk in the damn bike lane.

    People should walk where it's safe to walk.

    Not everyone's experience is the same. We live off a shared use paved trail that runs for 5.8 miles through our city. It's part of the 600 mile U.S. Bicycle Route (USBR) 45/45A and it's not safe to walk because of cyclists.

    Cyclists regularly come from the rear at high speeds without announcing their presence. Often while people are walking their dogs on the part of the path that deviates through the park and along the river.

    The world would be a nicer place if people showed a little more tolerance and patience toward each other.

    If something I wrote is upsetting when taken out of context, you might want to put it back in. World might be a nicer place.

    "There should be safe places for people to walk."

    There should be safe places for people to walk, however my example is of such a place (like the bike path in the picture) being made unsafe for people walking by bicycles (the inverse of what's pictured).

    In normal communities on Lemmy this could spark discussion but on FuckCars you're all so fragile you have to brigade anyone who doesn't fall in line with your specific viewpoint.

    Clearly my mistake for not blocking this community when I created this alt.

    If I understand you correctly:

    There's a picture of a place that used to be a road, but is now an area where people can walk (on both left and right sides), sit, and bike. Someone complained about a pedestrian on the bike lane, and you responded by describing a situation in a completely different place. When people disliked your response, you then complained about their reactions.

    Honestly, I find this confusing and not very helpful, as it doesn't contribute meaningfully to the discussion about the original picture. Did I miss something? I'm a bit tired right now, so please let me know if that's the case.

    People here legit agreeing there should be safe and equitable access to public infrastructure.

    You're off on the sidelines complaining that there isn't safe and equitable access to public infrastructure.

    People aren't downvoting your opinion, just your reading comprehension.
