But want to add that VC and bike lanes are not mutually exclusive...
And every time you feel compelled to point this out (this has to be at least the 10th time), I feel compelled to remind you that no one has ever claimed that VC and bike lanes are mutually exclusive.
I give you the benefit of the doubt that your strawman arguments are unintentional, but when you repeat them over and over, I do begin to wonder.
