It’s weird how when the Department of Transportation is using the bike lane, they give themselves an entire car lane for protection.

The point is that the teeny little barriers they're installing which are supposedly adequate for cyclists' safety are far less protection than the massive buffer they have as protection while installing them.

It's not about blaming the people doing the installation, it's about highlighting the government's hypocrisy when it comes to cyclist safety.

    I get the point. It's just a shitty point. We can agree that the bike lane is not sufficiently safe, and you claim that those barriers are inadequate, but comparing the safety of bikers in the bike lane vs workers literally working in the car lane, and somehow correlating them shutting down that lane as hypocrisy is a shit argument. Apples and oranges.
