I don’t have the words to describe how skullfuckingly stupid this is:
Washington State has long been a cyclist’s haven, with terrific bike trails through the woods and along the roads. Cyclists are everywhere in Washington State and according to an article in Forbes, Seattle ranks in the top twenty for the country’s most bike friendly cities and the state itself, according an article in Wired Magazine, is the best place in the country for bikes. One Washington lawmaker will hear none of that and has said, in public, out loud, within ear shot, in 2013 that cyclists and cycling are bad for the environment and therefore should be taxed.
Fuh. Um.
..if I am not mistaken, a cyclist has an increased heart rate and respiration.That means the act of riding a bike results in greater emissions of carbon dioxide from the rider. Since CO2 is deemed to be a greenhouse gas and a pollutant, bicycles are actually polluting when they ride.
I keep looking at these words in the hope that I have developed dyslexia and am seeing sentences that aren’t really there.
You are polluting by breathing heavy. Moreso than a car. Nevermind these other things that a car emits.
People went through the trouble to go to a polling station and vote for this….this pod person.
I hope you are proud of yourself, Washington. You are dangerously close to making the quarantine list.
