Thumbtacks strewn across Montreal bike path as tensions rise between motorists, cyclists - Montreal | Globalnews.ca
globalnews.ca
Acts of vandalism targeting bike paths have been reported recently as one borough's plan to eliminate parking for a path for cyclists has polarized the community.

Montreal is easily one of the most bike-friendly cities in North America, and yet even here we have carbrains who feel perpetually entitled to 250 parking spaces (the amount removed for the new bike lane) over the needs of everyone else. Clearly someone felt so strongly entitled to their parking that they threw thumbtacks in the new bike lane.

    “Why do the old people, kids, families get booted out [of the conversation] just to please one people: the bike people?”

    How are old people and children benefitting from cars over bikes???

      Clearly children and the elderly are literally physically incapable of using any mode of transit besides a car, thus our car-dependent hellscape is actually an act of charity out of the pure goodness of our hearts!!

        I love knowing that children and the elderly make up a large percentage of drivers.
