Preaching to the choir here, but I'll keep repeating: any journalist that gives the cost of a transit project but doesn't do the same for how much money is spent on roads is performing propaganda. Particularly in this case, when I'd be willing to bet that 90% of the project cost is actually rebuilding the roads for cars, not putting in the bike lanes.

Now i can't park right next to where i need to go and might have to... Walk.

"...where is everybody going to park?"

What if you had transport options that didn't require to you have to park?

• No car payment.

• No expensive insurance requirements.

• No downtime due to inconvenient auto repairs.

Don’t worry everyone. I know the area and that bike lane is 100% happening. Maybe not precisely the proposed route but it’ll be going somewhere. The council has already closed an extremely busy road for six months so they could demolish and rebuild a bridge to get the bike lane in, there ain’t no way they’re letting a few whinging locals block it now.

that bike lane placement does look fucking stupid

Why are there random words missing in the article?

Fears new cycle lane will cause huge disruption

Who fears that? Or is "fear" the subject of that sentence?

The proposed route will Sean Neely's front door, he added.

What?

Original title:

Fears new cycle lane will cause huge disruption

If I buy a horse, I don’t get to go to the city and complain I don’t have anywhere to graze my horse. You’re not entitled to free government land to store your car

She said: "I really don't think it's been thought through enough with the size of the roads and the parking, where is everybody going to park?"

and we’re just not happy about it

Very nice attempt of manipulation public opinion, it sounds her statement represents a vast amount of people 🤦‍♂️

The cycle spine is a £48m project which will connect Bishops Cleeve in north Gloucestershire to Stroud in the south, also linking Gloucester and Cheltenham.

Gloucestershire County Council said the scheme was designed to "help reduce carbon emissions and encourage active travel" and has proposed extending the route into south Gloucester from St Ann Way to Cole Avenue, through Linden, Podsmead and Tuffley.

Those names are aggressively British.

I hate those car-brained parking-space-heads.

where is everybody going to park?

No problem. They can put in a few bike racks so everyone can securely park their bikes.

I'm interpreting this as mildly inconvenienced by imaginary problems.

"My entire life is going to be disrupted by this bike lane"

-Aggressively stupid people who steadfastly refuse to think or learn, lest it fuck with their shitty little world view

These are honestly some of the most pathetic people in existence

complained that this extension will reduce on-street parking spaces

Tear off the bandage and get rid of all all street parking. It never should have existed.

From the bottom of my heart: I hope the disruption is both permanent and incredibly onerous for you, you carbrained fucks.

Dislike headlines that platform unfounded ideas

Fears new cycle lane will cause huge disruption

Could be like

Fears new cycle lane will anger the infernal gods

Just made up nonsense

"one resident". It's funny, but I've been a resident in places without bike lanes and I don't recall being asked by the BBC for my opinion.
