I recently encountered a new type of virtue signaling -- able bodied people yelling about how prioritizing bicycling in building road infrastructure is ableist

I believe this here is a problem of them not understanding conflicts of needs and also that you can build roads safe for bicycles that doesn't mean 'fuck all cars'

But really it just seems like ppl who love cars and want to pretend like they care about disabled ppl.

Im disabled n bike cause I cant drive dont explain this to me.

im one of those "typhlosion" creatures your priest warned you about
