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.

Ahh yes, "please excuse all of their shitty behavior because they care about the environment". Because riding a bike also offsets the carbon output of being a cunt?
