The Bike Lane Debate

cerritomama

A group of wealthy businessmen in a luxurious modern office, wearing suits and ties, are gathered around a large polished table. Some are wearing expensive watches and one is smoking a cigar.  They look frustrated and are gesturing animatedly as they discuss. The view outside the window shows a bustling city with heavy traffic.
Businessman 1: Can you believe these bicyclists? They want their own lanes, and it's causing more traffic for us!
Businessman 2: It's absurd! They think they own the road!
The scene shifts to a construction site where a bike lane is being built next to a busy road. A construction worker in a hard hat and safety vest is explaining the project to the businessmen who look displeased.
Construction Worker: This bike lane is part of the city's initiative for greener transportation.
Businessman 3: But it's making our commutes longer!
A cadillac escalade drives next to a bike lane
SUV Driver: If they replaced the bike lane with another car lane there'd be less traffic and I wouldn't be emitting so much pollution.
The final frame shows a low-income middle aged man with a worn backpack and a helmet, biking along a protected bike path with the city skyline is in the background.
Cyclist: It's been tough making ends met, but with this new bike lane I can safely get to work and don't have to worry about paying for gas.

A family kitchen with Daddy looking skeptically at a jar of organic peanut butter. The kitchen is cozy with wooden cabinets and a few potted plants on the windowsill. Daddy has a confused look on his face as he holds the jar.
Daddy: Why did you buy this fancy peanut butter, Mommy?
Mommy stands in the kitchen, smiling, while holding a jar of organic peanut butter. She has a confident expression, and the kitchen has a warm, inviting atmosphere.
Mommy: It's healthier and all-natural!
Daddy attempts to spread the peanut butter on a slice of bread, struggling as it clumps up. The kitchen countertop is cluttered with breakfast items, and Daddy's expression is one of frustration.
Daddy: It's impossible to spread! And it needs to be refrigerated! And costs more!
Mommy stands next to an open refrigerator, pointing inside. The fridge is packed with various jars of organic peanut butter. Mommy has a reassuring smile.
Mommy: But it lasts longer!
