"But this battle has never been evidence-based. It’s all about politics and the divide between the interests of voters living in city centres, who are less likely to vote for Ford or Smith, and those in the car-dependent suburbs who support them. How bicycles, which predated cars powered by internal combustion engines by about 70 years, became a woke adversary of the suburban right is a bit of a mystery. But I suspect it’s wrapped up in support for developers and sprawl and fealty to the oil and gas industry."

@dyckron@mstdn.ca The reason bikes are woke is because you can't jack up the wheels, there's no room for a gun rack, and no place to hang your trucknutz.
