My thoughts on bike lanes in Manhattan are pretty simple. I think bike lanes slow you down and they funnel you into danger zones. It’s a lot safer learning how to ride a bike in traffic than riding in those things.
On the other hand, I can’t stand it when someone blocks the bike lane or uses it incorrectly. Bike riders have so little space already that it infuriates me when what little space we have is abused.
I’m assuming this is the same for the other bores, but I never go there.
I was listening to a podcast and the guest at one point confused the Stanford Prison Experiment with the Milgram experiment.
“Wait! Something’s wrong! He mixed up the experiments!” I said.
But it was a podcast. It was recorded. They couldn’t hear me.
What the hell was I going to do?
Thank god, the responsible host made the correction. What a relief! I wonder how long I would have agonized over that.
The guest knew the difference. He just said the wrong name.
Anyway, this could have turned out way worse.
