Cameron MacLeod<p>Anti-cycling politicians and drivers say "put bikes on secondary streets". But what happens when that is actually proposed for 6 blocks on a secondary street? Lies about the change, lawn signs demanding that bike lanes not be installed, and petitions which claim looking for pedestrians and cyclists and drivers is too much work.
