It’s pretty rich for someone to talk of a freeloading problem while advocating for bike lanes that are utilized by only very few, while paid for by everyone else, whether they will ever set foot on the bike path or not.

And I say that as a cyclist, but one that can see past the self-serving rationalization and manipulative nature of the freeloader argument.

And that doesn’t even address the deeply authoritarian and evil core of the argument of “well, I determine what’s best for you so I will force it on you against your will for your own good, because what I want/enjoy conveniently coincides with what is best for you”. It’s tyranny and a purely evil mindset.
