Cyclist injuries dropped by half after “hated” cycle lane installed, but mayor still claims scrapped lane largely used as “bike run” for drug dealers to “get through traffic"

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
He's so close to the truth!
Drug dealers famously try to avoid being searched, and driving a vehicle is one of the most vulnerable methods of transport in that regard.
By this logic they should be riding camels as that's the least searched mode of transit.
I think you're reading way too much into this.
on a bike you can just take a shortcut that the police can't follow
on a camel, you can quickly traverse the desert the police can't follow.
My premise stands.
Lets compare the amount of drugs that gets transported by cars vs bikes. If cars have transported more drugs then get rid of car lanes instead of bike lanes.
Terrorist vegan drug-dealing bicyclists
Hell’s Road Bicyclists.
Look, Robin; it's the Bat-Signal!
Heck, let's even make it fair and compare them on the basis of units of mass transported per unit of distance traveled. I'm sure car still wins (in the negative sense, as per usual).
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.
No license and registration. Can ditch the vehicle and everything. Sounds perfect to me
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.
finally, someone made it make sense.
