@#26 ... He's ripping out bike lanes, and where he can't, he's removing the concrete barriers exposing bike riders to traffic. ...
Back in the day, I was in Florida on business, specifically, a bit inland from the Clearwater area coordinating with Engineers in a different division of the company.
The multi-day visit was in January.
Friday morning, I got a call from the corporate VP I reported to. He told me, stay there for the weekend, we are getting a severe snowstorm here in CT vthis afternoon. Have a good weekend, the company will pay for all, but be reasonable.
So, a free weekend in Florida in January. Awesome.
When I went into the Florida office that day, I mentioned that, and that I wanted to rent a bicycle over the weekend and ride around.
The four other Engineers in the room all immediately said, don't do that.
Riding a bicycle in Florida, they told me, is a death wish. The elderly seem to aim for you.
I took a major step back, an interesting conversation ensued.
I did not rent a bicycle that weekend.
OK, that little story aside...

Why does Gov DeSantis apparently want to hurt bicyclists?
