TL;DR:
That guy had such a hate boner for bicycles sharing the road that he made it a life mission to influence vehicular laws and infrastructure standards in a way that made it impossible to build protected bike lanes in some places until TWENTY FUCKING EIGHTEEN.
In other words,
FUCK that guy.

Part 2 of our episode on John Forester, vehicular cycling and his book "Effective Cycling" is now available. We take a look at the research surrounding his safety claims and the long-term impact Forester and his acolytes had on cycling infrastructure in the US. thewaroncars.org/2024/07/23/1...

So no special infrastructure for them, no safety measures. And basically if you weren't an Olympic level cyclist who would be comfortable zig-zagging through traffic, then just leave your bike at home, you pussy.
And thankfully, there’s a lot of bike lanes for me to use.
