Wu sucks. The standstill traffic caused by her empty bus lanes is neolib paternalism. What’s next? Arrests for people drinking soda in city limits?
Buy a bike. The future is now, and definitely doesn't include you.
I work in the film industry. I literally wouldn’t be able to get to work with a bike. And that’s not even to mention the fact that Boston is icy and frozen at least 6 months of each year which means that those bike lanes are only really effective for half of the year. Bikes are an absurdly foolish form of transportation in the context of constant blizzards.
Cities much further north and with much worse winters than Boston have no issues with winter biking. It's just a matter of infrastructure.
