Cyclists and pedestrians, mind!

So in the end, councillors who are already skeptical of building infrastructure that doesn’t centre cars feel that a few rude cyclists hinder their campaign to not have to deal with nearly being run over or killed every time they go for a ride. Makes sense.

Meanwhile the article fails to mention that the majority of abuse and threats encountered were aimed at cycling advocates fearful of being targeted by motorists. Cyclists deal with nearly being killed every day by cars, yet the article lays blame on those who think that maybe that’s a bad thing.

I think Anna Seghers’s Transit is, for me, one of her best (not to mention Petzold’s film adaptation with its contemporary gloss), if not better than Seventh Cross
