I mean, you can make it one, or you can just ride them.

I know a guy, bikes everywhere, constantly talks about biking, forces it into every conversation, has to wear those weird spandex pants everywhere, it's his whole personality and he makes it very political.

I know another guy, bikes to work because he doesn't have a car, wears normal clothes, doesn't make it his entire personality, only mentions it when it's relevant, not political for him it is simply born out of necessity (now that you can get him political on, but that's economics not "bikes.")

I love biking, I wear regular clothes and don't make it my entire personality. I will however talk about it incessantly if a person is into it and I recognize that it is a very political subject when it comes to propagandizing dickholes into fighting to remove bike lanes putting me and my fellow cyclists' lives in danger. But I wear regular clothes and don't take it too seriously.

Guess bike manufacturers can't outlobby the car industry. 🤷‍♂️😔

Fuck, even in my european country, there are many people hating on bycycles. Not even the bike lanes, just the fact of a person riding a bicycle.

Fucking awful how dividing the propaganda has gotten.

"Not everything is political!" - self-absorbed asshole that makes everything political.

Many such cases

Policy that has worked and been effective and loved by the people: We need to revisit this policy to see if we can make money out of it.

I'm out of the loop, what happened? I just dropped 2k on a bike 😑

[–] Katana314@lemmy.world 2 points 3 hours ago

The dumbest of the world decided to be dumb enough to genuinely attempt to string together the phrase “DEI bike lanes”.

Their last brain cell is gone, and they chose to remove it.

DOT cranks up its campaign to strip bike lane references from federal websites

This article covers it. The DOT has directed 100 % of funding into cars and is deleting anything from their website that includes the word 'bike', evena lot of safety related things and tools.

And what statement would that be? My bike is my primary method of transport and it's great.

I don't even know how much petrol costs because it doesn't matter. Fully electrified my house within a few months of buying it too.

Cycling to work for me is faster than any other legal method of transport.

Everything is political. Always has been, always will be. What changes is whether we notice and care.
