One of Britain’s most controversial cycle lanes is set to be removed at the end of August, though other road safety features, including a 20mph speed limit, road narrowing measures, and no-entry side streets, will remain

    Drug dealers famously don’t have enough money to buy a car.

      I think what he’s saying is that drug dealers are using the bike lane because it’s faster and more convenient than using a car

    Framing bike lanes as some kind of drug running liability is next level stupid. When you make claims this stupid as the mayor you should go straight to jail.

    iDK Lance Armstrong was on a lot of drugs and spent alot of time on a bike. There is too much of a coincidence. The safe drivers, who don’t need laws to tell them to stay of drugs, will keep us safe.
