Sean Chu stopped by Saturday night. He showed himself around to the back yard to say hi. I was a caught a little off guard as we were having a few beers after getting the walls up on my garage, and thinking on my feet after working all day under the hot sun was not where my mind was.
I told him I could not support him due to his ongoing issues with bike lanes. He said "I am OK with the pathways, but not to take road lanes away from cars." I pointed to my wife, and said that her I and I both cycle to work, and the safety provided by bike lanes is very important to us. "I can't support someone who doesn't feel that is important." He replied that "we will have to disagree on that." I told him if that was his position, he would not be receiving any support from me, and he left. It struck me by how little concern he seemed to have for safety of cyclists. Rather odd for a former police officer.
