    Here in my city, there’s a former rail corridor turned into a bike commuter path, despite the neighborhood screeching about crime and property values. Today, houses on the path command a price premium, but that’s beside the point.

    Anyway, some years ago, a local celebrity chef announced plans to build a café on the path, unreachable by car. Drivers’ predictable reaction:

    Rage crying meme.

    They basically bullied him into dropping the idea.

      My town built good bike paths, I could follow the road and breath fumes, or I could ride along the river valley on the path

      Near the city centre one of the paths around the lake has a cafe on the bike path that’s a 20m walk from the footpath and inaccessible to cars
