Today I’ve got this Issue on my Nationstates (nationstates.net)
Life in the Bike Lane
Tragedy struck CAPITAL when a cyclist was killed by a transport truck, making this the thirteenth such incident in the past few weeks. This has propelled activists to peddle the idea of creating additional bike lanes in NATIONSNAME’s cities.
I’ve encountered with 4 choices
1. “What do we want? Bike lanes! When do we want them? Now!” chants cyclist Naomi du Pont, five-time winner of the Tour de NATIONSNAME competition. “Many of us in the big cities rely on our bikes to go about our daily business. If anything, more cyclists on the streets will mean fewer cars, and that means less congestion. Less congestion means less pollution, and that makes everyone healthier in the long run. It may be more inconvenient for the motorists, but if they don’t like it, they can go honk themselves.”
2. “Haven’t these road hogs heard of a sidewalk?” wheezes decidedly unhealthy city councilor Warwick Liu, whose son was behind the wheel of the truck. “Bike lanes are like swimming with the sharks – sooner or later you’re going to get bitten. Roads are built for buses, cars, and trucks, not for people on bikes. Bike lanes are dangerous and expensive to maintain. We ought to stop them and paint over existing ones before more people are killed and we end up like Dàguó.”
3. “I agree with the councilor with the… obvious health issues,” chimes in an auto industry lobbyist while playing with your nephew’s toy cars. “People are sick of these damn cyclists who think they own the roads. It’s their own fault that they end up hurt or killed. What if people had to pass a test before being allowed to ride a bike, like we do with cars? This will mean there are fewer idiot cyclists who think they’re invincible. That, my friend, is what will make our cities safer.”
4. “What if bikes were the only way people went about their commute?” suggests the leader of the Viva la Pedalution! advocacy group. “Let’s face it, these incidents are going to keep on happening because of these selfish and incompetent motorists. Riding a bike is much healthier and far less dangerous. The government needs to declare NATIONSNAME a ‘car-free zone’ and completely redesign urban planning to accommodate cyclists. Short-term complications, yes, but long-term gains!”
