Bikes: A bunch of old bikes and a few new ones

Then she could have written about that ideology of "bicycle advocates" by paying attention to what people say and write and by making a reasoned argument for why she disagreed. Instead she basically gave a faux news account of the facts by claiming that this is really a UN plot to take over land use planning in the US and by arguing that liberals are busy trying to destroy poor neighborhoods to make room for bikes. This is simply a propaganda piece singularly devoid of facts or reason.
