  People are very self centered.

    It’s like they are conservatives or something.

      No can’t be. She has pink hair, so she’s a transgender liberal antifa commie criminal. She probably eats cats.

  Mixing squishy people and big steel trucks will definitely impact one group a lot more than the other.

  Good luck.

  I can’t remember if I’ve seen a house without a garage and/or driveway.

  That area of Alexandria needs more bike lanes not less

  Lady, there’s a car sized free space on your front lawn.

  I was actually going to jump on their side: that area is still very car centric and you need to be able to handle that. …… then the video was showing a mostly empty street where many of the houses had driveways, so no.

  The church should have accomodations though, even if it means closing part of the bike lane sundays

    Yes, but bikes > religion.

      You don’t have to be religious to support people who are, just like you don’t have to cycle to support people who do

    it ver clearly shows sections where no one has a driveway.

      As someone who used to live in places with very limited places to park, that shouldn’t be a deal breaker. Some do have driveways and there are side streets. It’s not the end of the world to have to park around the corner

      (Assuming the side streets are less crowded than downtown Boston)

  Hammers are cheaper than windows

  I don’t like this headline. I’m all for more cycling and fewer cars, but in many places cars are a necessity, and according to the video, this bike lane would prevent a potentially large number of people from parking near their homes. To be fair, I know nothing about this area, or this state, and I got all my information from watching the video.

    Glancing at that still in the thumbnail, it also looks like she doesnpt have a parking lot.

  From 0:55 in the video, the familiar bikers’ lives matter all lives matter 🙄

  I’ve biked in enough New England states where even if there was a dedicated bike lane I would still go to a trail because people cannot drive for shit. The amount of people I have to when walking that don’t see me because they are head down looking at a cell phone is probably 4/5.
