> like in Culvert City CA where they removed cycling lanes
That's likely unrelated to anti-car sentiment and more so because bicyclists are (on average) complete assholes on the road, since there is no accountability for their behavior.
I'd be fine with bicyclists if we could use cameras/facial recognition to issue fines and arrest warrants, thereby finally domesticating them.
What causes so much danger and suffering and pollution and death are the vengeful sociopathic un-empathic car drivers who combatively view bicyclists as "complete assholes", and go around posting their ignorant, asinine, toxic opinions on social media to justify injuring and killing so many of them, and voting for ill-conceived, short-sighted legislation that makes it so dangerous and impossible to ride bikes safely, instead of providing safe, clean, green bike infrastructure and public transit, all because of their violent, childish misconceptions and greedy, narcissistic, bullying laziness, plus their complete lack of care and empathy for their fellow human beings and the environment.
Medice sp527, cura te ipsum, because your own recent post applies perfectly to you:

You sound like you're deeply entrenched in bicyclist activism or something, but I'll try to elaborate on my view any way:
Keeping bicyclists off the road hurts no one. There are cars, public transit, Uber/Lyft, sidewalks+crosswalks, etc. No one is entitled to be able to ride a bike on the road in the same way that no one is entitled to be able to transport themselves via jetpack. If it can't be orchestrated in a way that deters misbehavior, then it's not a workable construct.
That's bullshit and you know it, troll. One day you post a link about how to recognize sociopathy and lack of empathy, and the next day your own malignant sociopathy and lack of empathy is on full display for all to see.
You sound like you're deeply entrenched in alt-right MAGA conspiracy theory anti-environmental climate change denial activism or something. Does the mere thought of 15-minute cities make you furious and apoplectic?
Allowing people to drive cars on public roads certainly can't be orchestrated in a way that deters misbehavior, and their misbehavior regularly injures and kills orders of magnitude more people than bicyclists ever do, by far.
Extremist vengeful anti-bicycle activists like yourself sometimes even purposely harass, injure, and kill bicyclists by "rolling coal" on them, and often driving dangerously on purpose to threaten and scare them.
By your own sick logic, you yourself should not be permitted to drive a car on public roads, because of purposefully irresponsible drivers like these (who are unsurprisingly often from Texas, one of the most historically racist, anti-environmentalist, pro-slavery, anti-LGBTQ+, misogynistic, alt-right, unjustifiably arrogant, anti-bike states in the Union, that STILL tries to foment insurrection and secede from the United States to this day):
Texas Driver Posts Video Rolling Coal on Cyclists—and Is Surprised by the Consequences:
If you really hate sharing the road with bicyclists that much, then move to Texas and vote to secede, but until you manage to kick yourself out of the United States, the law of the land says that you have to tolerate bikes and minorities no matter how much you hate them.
