People are wacky about the whole lost time thing. Whats the longest anyone is ever going to have to reduce speed for sake of a bicyclist? 5 seconds? 10 seconds? 45 seconds? What if it's even a full minute? You have to slow down from 40 to 20 for a minute, you lose 30 seconds. THIRTY SECONDS. But if a driver had to go 20mph for 60 seconds, they'd absolutely lose their ****ing mind.
It's crazy. I'll never understand it.
