Please consider compassionately: “Bike lanes” aren’t just for tree-hugging cyclists. They are multi-use spaces, part of a holistic non-motorized public transportation plan that makes room for all manner of non-motorized transport.
Wheelchair-bound homeless people, for instance, greatly appreciate having space on the road, particularly in winter, when not enough warm, able-bodied folk care enough to clear the sidewalk.
Folks, we can do this. One way or another, space can be made. If there is room in our hearts, there is room in our world.
