This is actually extremely cruel to cyclists, removing them from roads deprives them of their favorite part of cycling: Disruptive, attention-seeking bullshit.
My girlfriend is genuinely my best friend. And not in the “we’re dating, so obviously we’re friends” kind of way, but in the “there’s genuinely no one else I’d rather laugh with, annoy, or do stupid shit with” kind of way. She’s my favorite person, my safe place, and the person I always want around. She’s my person.
