I'm interpreting this as mildly inconvenienced by imaginary problems.

    It's somehow even dumber than that: The reality is adding bike lanes reduces traffic, so when they are removed, things like parking space availability and traffic jams get measurably worse for everyone, drivers especially.

    This is not a belief, it is a demonstrable fact. People who argue with it are objectively incorrect, full stop. Another word you might use for this is "ignorant" or maybe even "stupid", provided you wanted to be kind.

    "My entire life is going to be disrupted by this bike lane"

    I once read an article about a new bike lane, they were interviewing randoms about their thoughts. One of them said something like "I'm normally against bike lanes, but I like this one as it keeps the cyclists out of the traffic"

    And all I could think was what did you think bike lanes were for.

    I thought they were for stopping motorists from killing and/or murdering cyclists? IDK...

    These are honestly some of the most pathetic people in existence

  • complained that this extension will reduce on-street parking spaces

    Tear off the bandage and get rid of all all street parking. It never should have existed.

    From the bottom of my heart: I hope the disruption is both permanent and incredibly onerous for you, you carbrained fucks.

    "one resident". It's funny, but I've been a resident in places without bike lanes and I don't recall being asked by the BBC for my opinion.
