I honestly can't even imagine what kind of scumbag would take the time and effort to deliberately try to put people in harm's way by doing something like this.

Hey, that's my city! I'm sad to say that I'm not overly surprised. I don't know if it's an everywhere thing, but there's a vocal minority in Victoria that have a real stick up their ass about bike lanes.

What's their actual concern/problem? Bike lanes keep bikes out of car lanes and off sidewalks, and they make things safer for everyone while making roadways faster for motorists.

They're afraid the gubmint will force them to sell their car and ride bikes at gun point and forcefeed them soy lattes or something.
