Courtney, genocide? Really? You are comparing the loss of a bike lane, which since this is Oregon will be back after the next local elections(1$ bet) to the persecution and extermination of an entire group of people, such as what's happening to the people in Palestine, Lebanon. Etc.

How do you expect anyone to take you seriously when you abuse and minimize the loss of life of whole entire communities by comparing it to the mere inconvenience of having to use the sidewalk, or just using the lane as a cyclist.

If you think you are helping or assisting the goal of increasing safe spaces and healthier commuting, you aren't.

You are giving those same people who took away that bike lane a reason to ignore your position.

Stop making bad arguments for good causes or you only help those you are fighting against, sabotaging all the good work pro bike lane groups have accomplished
