This is comedy gold, here is a Youtube video where old, bored white housewives make some of the absurdist arguments against "bike lanes"(really these are not fucking lanes, they are just lame lines painted on the road that any motorist can ignore):
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e1AbLu5EZLk&feature=youtu.be&t=29
>http://www.kpbs.org/news/2015/sep/23/coronado-puts-brakes-all-future-bike-lanes-after-r/
>“You are covering Coronado with paint stripe pollution,” said resident Gerry Lounsbury.
>“The graffiti on the streets does not help our property values,” declared Aileen Oya.
>The lanes “bring to mind a visual cacophony that if you look there long enough it will induce a dizzying type of vertigo,” said Carolyn Rogerson.
>Gerry MacCartee asked if the community couldn't think of a better option than “these black streets with these brilliant white lines everywhere because believe me, it takes away from your home, from your outlook on life.”
>And Darby Monger crafted an analogy to describe the addition of bike lanes to her beloved city.
>“It’s very similar to personally taking all three of my daughters to a tattoo parlor and having them completely body tattooed,” she said.
I discovered this via bikesnobnyc blog.

Nice to see average people are waking up and fighting back against the Cycling Justice Warriors.
But their same criticisms apply to regular lane paint on the roads kek.
>>883279
Anti-social nerd, these are the amazing stats from that California town:
>the city reported that 70 percent of its students walk or bike to school.
In most of the USA retarded parents waste their lives becoming glorified chauffeurs to their fat, spoiled kids. Go to almost any school without bus service at the start and end of school and there will be a huge traffic jam as idiot parents wait dozens of minutes to an hour to get their turn to pick up their kid from the front of the school.
Only nerds like you rail against worthwhile causes using the meme of "social justice" as if anyone supports your social injustice geekery.
I'd have thought cycle fags would have been fully behind this. After all, painting some lines on the road is not a substitute for proper cycling infrastructure.
>>883282
Minority rights are protected in this country, if a minority of residents report feelings of vertigo from painted bike lanes the local government needs to accommodate them.
From the video, this town appears to have super wide roads. Absolutely no need for magic paint.
>>883277
Do you have a full body tattoo?
Those certainly are some crazy white bitches.
>>883294
They weren't even all white though, there was an Asian there too. And the Japanese mayor said he would respect the wishes of the residents.
>>883277
Plz go, Nyah!
>>883284
>if a minority of residents report feelings of vertigo from painted bike lanes the local government needs to accommodate them

>>883302
You are wasting your time responding to no-life kiddies who even fail as trolls. Those old white battle axes are real life trolls. Everything they complained about applies to any type of painted road lines which all higher quality, well trafficked roads have anyway. If those fat, old white bitches were honest and participated in the shithole that is /n/ they would have fit right in ranting like lunatics about their real reasons for opposition: they don't like pro cycling measures because it can allow poorfags and coloreds to possibly access the street in front of their precious McMansion. It is the same reason why the backwards ass American South has pathetic rail and public transit infrastructure.
>>883311
>coloreds
Wow watch your fucking language you bigot. Do you know how offensive that term is?
>“It’s very similar to personally taking all three of my daughters to a tattoo parlor and having them completely body tattooed,” she said.
she has a point, you know.
>>883311
>It is the same reason why the backwards ass American South has pathetic rail and public transit infrastructure.
Actually that's because Northern capitalists intentionally held the South back economically after the Civil War in order to keep the region as a backwards underdeveloped region they could exploit for cheap labor and resources.
>>883314
No, pimply kid. Just like what happened in this town, well to do what white douches in South also don't want people who are poorer and especially non-white to have easier access to their well-to-do neighborhoods. Here is a podcast that deals with how racism, and an aversion to the poor is why almost every city in the American South has such shitty public transit:
http://www.againstthegrain.org/program/556/id/181156/mon-4-30-12-new-geography-need
Such backward people think disgusting car centric sprawl and suburbia is a feature or enhances their quality of life because they are miserly.
>>883316
You write like Elliot Rodgers tbh. You are a true supreme gentleman of /n/.
>>883317
Rodgers never cared about public transit and cycling. Elliot Rodgers was one of your tribe of misogynist, anti-social white nerds, I am not. Try to inform yourself for once so you can actually be ontopic, useful or anything besides a pathetic failure at trolling.
>>883318
It's true that compared to you everyone looks like a failure at trolling. You are certainly good at what you do.
On topic, not sure what the problem is. If a citywide bicycle plan can get derailed by a half-dozen butthurt moms, that implies it didn't have much support to begin with. Don't you believe in democracy?
>>883318
Well we know you're antisocial and a nerd, so I that must mean if you aren't a antisocial white nerd, you're an antisocial nerd of color.
>>883324
Chan sperglord: 70% of kids walking or cycling to school is almost other worldly by American standards and denotes huge support.
Stick to anime/video games like your anti-social nerd tribe.
>>883326
>denotes huge support.
Evidently not. And kids don't use bike lanes anyway, they ride on the sidewalk or in large packs. Bike lanes are only for Lance Armstrong wannabees and undesirables.
If everyone loved the bike lanes why didn't those kid's parents come out in favor of them?
>>883328
Anime nerd:
The short video which you didn't watch, but you want to comment anyway, shows kids riding in the streets. Complaining in town hall meetings is usually the preferred hobby of loser elderly white busy-bodies. A town could only be 10% white and town hall would still be full of such elderly white people over other demographics.
Maybe when your balls drop and you experience the world you will understand town hall complaints are dominated by nutcases with too much time. Have fun polluting the world with your shitty views and body, though. You still suck as trolling.
>>883330
Sounds like those other groups should get involved and let local officials know their side of the issue. It's not the fault of old white people that they're the only people who give a fuck enough about things to have their voices heard and petition their government for redress. Maybe everyone should stop being lazy and show they care. They can even ride their bike to town hall :^)
What's your favorite anime?
>>883331
Are you the same anti-social nerd who before was defending the opposite assertion? The only thing that is happening is you retreat from one anti-social position to another. When more kids can go autonomously to where they need to without parents wasting their time as taxi drivers for kids, everyone wins in society except shitty people like the batshit fat white whales in the Youtube video at Town hall, or changeeks on /n/.
Nerds and geeks of chanboards are notorious for always being for the anti-social position on every possible issue. Something about staring at screens produces shitty people.
>>883332
I enjoy your ridiculous posts, you can have my quads fam.
They already tendered a contract for the work, so some company will be getting paid to do nothing.
>>883335
4chan logic: "Poorfag" you jelly that you are not some rich white contractor in Cali brah? Taking the money for nothing? Well the municipality cannot avoid paying, that would be socialism and sjw talk there brah. Just stay jelly and hatin'."
Pretty good depiction of the average douchery here, eh?
>>883350
>Pretty good depiction of the average douchery here, eh?
no, that would be everything you post, nicoslob
>>883378
Where do I support anti-social douchery like cheering rich robber barons or the lack of transportation, especially for those who cannot afford expensive private automobiles, the welfare queens of transport? If you want to picture a douche, picture the typical chankid and their ethos, behavior and the look on their face.

There's a reason you're on night work, nikki. It's because nobody can stand to be around you. If the stench emanating from your greasy greek pores doesn't drive them away, if the reek of garlic doesn't scare them off, then the fact that nobody cares to listen to you talk about anything is sure to seal the deal.
I'm sure your hairy greek mommy cares about your opinions from your shithole in New Jersey, but nobody on here does. I'd tell you to go back to reddit, but it's just another website that you bitch endlessly about, but can't seem to stop posting on.

You sure are cool hating white ppl OP
Can we meet up @ chipotle to eat some culturally enriched food and discuss white guilt?
>>883277
>really these are not fucking lanes, they are just lame lines painted on the road that any motorist can ignore
just like ordinary lanes you fucking fruitloop
>>883470
Hush down cracker.
>>883277
lol, this bitch is insane.
>>883886
If you didn't watch the video, the quotes are from multiple haggard, batshit insane, ugly, old white house-wives. It was group lunacy, I just took a screenshot of one of them. Unsurprisingly alot of the low-quality /n/ trolls, dirty kids and shittalkers defended their points because it was the most anti-social thing to do.
>>883894
Being a cyclist in a car-centric culture is the most anti-social thing to do tbh.
>>883898
Anti-social is doing something against the interests of society. Driving takes up the most resources, it creates infrastructure sprawl, a car takes up huge amounts of space, it creates the most waste and pollution, leads to health problems since people don't have to move.
Driving is the anti-social act, not bicycling. Drivers are entitled welfare queens. They generally don't have to pay for parking except in ultra-dense cities, it is the most subsidized form of transit, etc., etc.
But trying to explain stuff like this to chankids is like trying to pass matter through matter.
>>883900
Do you come up with your insults on your own? Is Social Injustice Warriors your own invention? It's pretty clever tbh.
>>883908
That is the first thing that came to my mind when I first encountered the mostly white male nerd internet from Reddit and read those lunatics raging with foam from their keyboards about cabals of social justice warriors. It automatically implies that the opposite, being a social injustice warrior is their position.
>>883910
That's a pretty false dichotomy, m8. If you aren't Antifa are you a fascist? You can think both sides are retarded without subscribing to one or the other.
Also, why add the "social" in front of justice. There's just justice or injustice, right?
>>883912
No, that is a pretty good dichotomy. Those hardcore gamers and other nerds ranting about social justice warrior cabals that rule the world really do support social injustice. Of course not actively, that would imply screen staring nerds would do something in real life.
Antifa usually refers to a type of leftist hooligans that likes to battle fascists as a hobby in a phase of life, till they grow out of it. Personally I don't look kindly on anti-fa or leftists at all.
Old women are the fucking bane of my existence on the roads
>>883913
How many hardcore gamers do you think are on this board? Shouldn't you be hanging out on /v/ instead of a board devoted to discussing transportation?
>>883920
I only play a few games a year on steam, I wouldn't call myself a 'gamer' or a racist lol. I doubt the majority of people here go on /v/ or /b/ anymore, I haven't gone on them regularly since 08 - 09.
He really should just fuck off back to Reddit.

>>883900
Nikolasv you are singlehandedly turning bicycles from a fun, cheap and efficient form of transportation into a fedora for your legs.
Fuck off back to Reddit.
>>883958
He is /n/'s reckoning. He's also the logical conclusion to all the retarded "cager" rhetoric that cyclists throw around here.

But the cager posts are satirical.
OK, someone explain to me, do streets in the US look any different than anywhere else in the World (pic somewhat related) and painting them full of lines brings in this much of a controversy?
Pretty mind boggling.
>>883279
>Cycling Justice Warriors
Ha!
>>883900
>We will crush the bourgeois motorists with our glorious socialist cycling infrastructure!
>The motoring fascists shall be overthrown!
>Join us Comrade! Forward for Cycling!
>>883996
Yeah. I know that. You know that. Everyone else here knows that.
Nikolasv doesn't know that. He genuinely thinks it's true.
>>883277
>White hags
That's pretty sexist tbh fam.
>>886847
How so?
>>883996
>>884071
Satire requires intelligence and sophistication that most chanmorons lack. Perhaps you mean shitposting and trolling? Again to do that well also requires a talent and aptitude that most chankids lack.
So basically what we have is two utter chan nerds bragging that their fellow chan nerds write things they don't believe is some kind of feature or positive trait that nikolasv cannot grasp.
Look intentions don't fucking matter, and even if they did how could I suss out of the intentions of anonymous coward morons on a low-quality medium? Alot of murders are "crimes of passion" and if you give that murderer a soapbox they may say they had to murder out of love that wouldn't allow them to bear seeing their wife continuing to sleep with another man or leave them. In this case the shit quality discussion is the issue, not the fact that the lowquality shitposters might have wanted lulz.
>>886866
Can you teach me how to troll and shitpost as well as you?
>>886847
And racist.
>>886868
It would require an intellectual curiosity that the abysmal escapist troglodytes who huddle on chanboards lack. You should be so humbled that one such as me bothers with this online social sewer.
>>886870
You don't know what racism is idiot, since anime and video games never taught you about that topic.
>>886873
>this whole post
You're right, I couldn't hope to compete with this level of trolling and shitposting.
>>886873

At last people more shrill about bikes than Williamsburg hasids
>It seems to me that Coronado – designed like a small New England town (compact residential grid pattern) – may not be well suited to the national urban cycling template being imposed upon us by cycling interests from afar. Because our street pattern is, by design, more 19th century than 21st century, our residential village may not even be well suited to a contemporary-styled “bicycle master plan”; we already have a “bike-friendly” framework in place – it was established by our city’s founders when they laid out our community’s streets in the 1880s. Instead, Coronado needs to enhance bike safety in a way that takes into account our city’s unique design and functionality. I think it’s time to begin this discussion here – in Coronado – instead of relying on outside cycling activists to direct our course.

Another classic:
>One argument is that more biking will somehow reduce carbon emissions and save the planet. Give me a break. Most bikers bike for exercise and recreation, not to avoid a car ride. With regard to climate change, the climate has been changing since the beginning of time and will continue to do so in spite of man’s activities.

You're missing the obvious:
He's claiming that a 19th century street design is better suited to car traffic than bicycles. Even though there weren't actually cars around in the 19th fucking century.
