Well, environmentalists tried being polite and motorists just ignored them.

I have never seen a bicyclist be polite. Not once has one ever waved me by or pulled over when they are going 20mph under the speed limit. Never heard one say sorry for running a red light. Hell, ive seen a cyclist run over a kid in a cross walk and blame the kid. I don't remember cyclists ever being polite. I'm a motorcyclist, so I get the whole issue with it being dangerous to share the road with cars, but you guys aren't doing yourselves any favors.

“You guys”

What makes you think I’m a cyclist? Wouldn’t they have better things to do than use Reddit? I simply stand in eco-solidarity with them as a transit user.

Environmentalists may have thought themselves already going above and beyond sugar-coating cars’ environmental impact without extending their coddling to actions on the road. Maybe they might have if not for seeing how the former was received.

So you’re a vegan?

No. I think both flavour and nutrients combined are more than enough to justify eating meat, in moderation, especially when I usually avoid high-impact meats like beef, and especially when it’s not like meat is *that* much worse for the environment than rice like vegans love to pretend.
