I think the background of my toot is that I'm debating a VC guy on birdsite, which is all super fine and respectful (yay!) but VC was for decades also the politics of all the cycling activists and people like me, who just want to cycle and be left alone by motorists and aren's sporty.. they were not only left out of the activism, but the activism made things actually worse for us.

because cities' governments thought: oh neat, those cyclists don't want cycling infrastructure. they want to use the roads. so we don't have to build or maintain anything. cheap!
