Once you start seeing how much space we sacrifice for #cars, you can't unsee it. They have taken over our cities completely.
And they feel entitled and justified to every single space available. Given a chance, anything becomes a parking spot.
And if you dare speak up about it or oppose it, #motorists respond immediately with aggression, violent threats, racism and sometimes actual violence.
Don't dare advocate for a cycle lane, some space in the footpath for a wheelchair user, or a stroller.

#Motorists seem to be angry by default. And that's of course quite bad.
They are angry at other drivers, angry at pedestrians, angry at #buses, angry at potholes and traffic jams.
But the worst of all their anger is usually directed at #cyclists.
We can't seem to get it right. Always in the wrong place, too slow and too fast at the same time.
