I finally connected the dots on the sudden bike lane closures in my area
In my neighborhood, the city put in bike lanes last year, but now they're closing them for 'maintenance' every other week. My friend mentioned a rumor that it's to discourage cycling and boost car sales. At first I laughed, but then I saw the same construction company at all the sites. In my experience, when things don't add up, there's usually more to the story.
