I'm coming up on my 1-year on March 7. Congratulations. Once you get settled in things are significantly less stressful.

I understood the mentality. It was resignation.

Agreed.

I have sympathy for them because I hate cars, but I also can't help but to say "what the fuck" when they're popping wheelies in the middle of lanes blocking traffic.

I stand by changing the infrastructure here to be more bike and pedestrian friendly. Fuck cars.

I don't love that cyclists in Richmond routinely break traffic laws.

However I also fucking hate that it's nearly impossible to safely bike around Richmond, law abiding or not. We are not a bike or walking friendly city and it shows. For god sake, Virginia specifies that bike lanes first and foremost are a motor vehicle disaster recovery zone. I know that I would never feel safe biking down Government Road or Williamsburg Avenue in the bike lanes because people drive like maniacs.

With the amount of traffic, pedestrian, and biker deaths Richmond sees year after year you'd think leadership would consider the system at fault.

> I get that cities are built for cars

This mentality sucks. Lots of cities aren't built for cars -- Paris, Amsterdam, Venice are all examples of this. America needs to catch up. Cars ruin cities.

Public transit, reduced accommodations for cars.
