You're gonna call riding a bike, instead of a car, ableist and classist? Great, let me just go get an expensive to own, expensive to maintain, expensive to operate vehicle so I can really stick it to the rich.

Can you better explain the ableist remark? It sort of comes off like you're being mocking.

He means busses can’t use bike lanes, when they could have used the traffic lanes that were removed.
Show me one example of a city that is reducing transit in favor of bike lines and I might believe that's a legitimate concern. Almost always, cities that are looking to add bike lines are also looking to expand transit.
Think you're barking at the wrong car, the person you're responding to was clarifying the argument of another person, not endorsing it I think.
Cheers, I appreciate the clarification.
