When I disagree with people, I can generally recognize that they're often a reasonable person who are either starting from different information or placing different relative weights on their values than me. Jeff Browaty is not one of those reasonable people.
I'd respect him more if he just came out and said,
"I hate bicycles and the people who ride them. I will use all the power available to me to banish them from our roads." It wouldn't actually change anything about his policies, but it would be refreshingly honest.
