Listening to the radio today, I heard some callers whigning about the Lane Cove Tunnel road changes along Epping (Effing) Rd.
It is beautiful how people can simulataneously hold two opinions that directly contradict each other.
Opinion one seems to be general outrage that Effing Rd is being narrowed to accommodate bus and bicycle lanes.
Opinion two (connected to opinion one) seems to be general outrage that bicycles are able to use the roads for free.
Here's the contradiction.
Opinion one is justified by the motorists demand to use existing roads as a FREE alternative feeding big businesses who own the tollways. They say that they should have a free alternative because their taxes have already paid for the roads.
However, at the same time
They can't see that cyclists should also have a free alternative to filling the pockets of big business (oil companies). My taxes also build the roads (without destroying them) so, why do they have to have free alternatives but not cyclists.
Amazing how blind we can aspire to be.
