Yes, blame cyclists instead of the people piloting 2 ton killing machines. Heaven forbid they be safe around other road users and pedestrians don't have to fear being seriously injured by cyclists.

For some reason it's better to you to inconvenience cyclists who already have a longer commute to make it even longer instead of some comfy driver who can stop and start with nary any physical input.

And no, the safest choice is to redesign our society for PEOPLE and that means roadways which accommodate all vehicles and heavy fines and actual punishment for drivers who put everyone in danger.
