Some of their complain is really unhinged.
What I find perhaps the most worrisome about this whole ‘revolt’ and that these people believe it’s some sort of conspiracy that brought about these bike lines, is that this is a result of them never having chatted with the parents of Jimmy from three doors down the road, who are worried about their son biking to school.
If they had any connection to Jimmy’s family, that alone would override any mild concerns they might have about being inconvenienced. They don’t have that connection, because they walk out the door, climb into their car and then emerge from it 3 miles later. You don’t meet anyone living on your road that way.
I considered that, too, but I do not think this is it, at least not generally, because of how many people showed up to that ‘revolt’, despite it only affecting relatively few people.
I guess, it could be, though, that just the speakers were conspiracy nuts and the audience then just went along with it due to the lack of block party attendance.
