Are you talking from experience? What legislation have you organised?

I got new bike lanes installed around the neogboirhood after I wrote to the local city representative about it, then went to a city where I did a PowerPoint presentation of all the places that you could get killed if the driver wasn't paying attention.

It took a month from first letter to new bikelanes.

  • This sounds like exactly the gumption we need to finally get the federal government to represent the common man.

    • Two people were killed in the next city within six months because no one bothered to fix their paths. One was a child.

      If someone had bothered to write to that council they'd be alive.

      But by all means, keep winning online arguments and doing nothing.

  • The speed of turn-around sounds impossible. That you are asking for bike lanes - which is already part of most local agendas - is more believable. I daresay if someone asked for the lanes to be removed, they would not get any traction.
