USDOT Secretary Sean Duffy Is Dead Wrong About Bike Lanes — Streetsblog USA

The Secretary of Transportation says he hasn't seen enough data to believe in the benefits of bike lanes. So we put together an explainer help him out — mostly using information from his own department.

    An appropriate sentence for Secretary Duffy would be prison until he’s watched every video on the Not Just Bikes channel.

    Wall. We need a wall. Around the USA. Big wall. And a moat with crocodiles. Minefields would be a nice touch too. And radio-specter noise generators, of course. Let’s occlude the source of idiocy. Let’s not let it spread.

    I do find it kind of neat that you can now always just look at what the US government said and you know that it’s false.

    We need a better vetting process for these roles. This scumbag charlatan probably has investments in the auto industry. Until laws are passed that prevent conflicts of interest we are fucked.

      We do have laws like this. They’re not enforced.
