“20 minutes clearing dirt and debris”.
This is patent fabrication of the highest order. A woman fell off her bike. At most, there’s a bike, pair of sunglasses and two water bottles to collect.
...because it’s enshrined in law, perhaps? Again the language of outgrouping, of disenfranchise, of delegitimising, of *de-humanising*.
I’m sure some of her best friends are black/gay/Jewish too. Classic move there. Claim the high ground and position one’s motive as objective and beyond reproach.
If they’re racing, there would be labelled cars, motorcycle outriders, marshals, they’ll be wearing numbers and it’s a legally-sanctioned activity. What she seeks to do is portray *illegality*.
Unlike her car. Cyclists responsible for global warming. Masters of their (and our) own demise.
De-legitimise the outgroup. Remove them. Most importantly, out from her way - they don’t deserve the right to use roads they paid for.
Again positioning legal, safe behaviour as the opposite.
Drivers kill about 1700 people per year and maim around 800,000 more. Cyclists, maybe one per year dead, frequently their own fault for walking into the path of someone cycling. So where does the danger really lie?
Thanks for reading.
