Things people have done to stop biking in NYC:1. Staged an accident with a dead bear in Central Park2. Literal BRIBES (maybe not in chips bag, but I don't know, it could have been)

@farah Yes. People were so gobsmacked he did such a boneheaded thing I think not many people noticed WHY he did it. He wanted to make bikes seem dangerous and get them banned on the loop or some nonsense.

@farah He thought that everyone would see that the poor bear was hit by a bike and hate bikes. It didn't work. Because that makes no damn sense.

@farah Yes. And they don't live in Central park. Obviously the whole "why is there a bear??" thing overshadowed the bike he put there.

@futurebird I keep wondering how many months the biking movement has before car industries decide electric bikes are eating into car profits, and the people who are riding too fast, not wearing helmets, not keeping proper lookout, or not following rules made for cars, are creating a golden opportunity to make ebikes look like the new heroin.

@futurebird @farah 1/2to me, the only part that doesn't make sense is that he tried to hoax it, rather than just waiting. Deaths in bike-person or bike-bear-sized animal collisions are vastly rarer than for cars, but they're not actually impossible, and now there's a smooth gradient from "ebike can do 20mph!" to "electric dirt bike can beat your mom's gasoline-powered kawasaki at the local drag",
