    It’s an entitlement issue. I obviously want cars gone, at the very least from within urban cores, but ideally everywhere. But bikes also share the same issues as car-brained folks. Where they think that because they are a bike and that is better then a car, they should have priority over pedestrians and it’s up to the pedestrians to make sure they aren’t in the “bike lanes,” etc etc.

    It’s important to codify that bikes only exist because of a courtesy, but much like cars, they do not hold any status above pedestrians, even if the citizenry has ceded a specific space for them.
