1. "the more bike lanes we build, the more bikes will appear on them magically out of thin air, so let's just build as much as possible"
2. "further narrowing bottlenecks of a city (like bridges) by assigning lanes to bikes, bike sharing stations, planters, or anything else you can think of, is a very logical and natural thing to do"
3. "if we take away parking spots on streets, cars will just vanish into thin air, and we will be more green"
4. "if we allow high density towers yet do not require them to build underground parking accordingly, people will still move in and just won't own cars since they won't have spots"
5. "if we make it as expensive, slow, inconvenient and frustrating as possible to drive to places in Vancouver, people will embrace bikes and we will be more green... businesses won't hurt or anything either"
6. "it is completely conceivable for a mother to take her 2 children to school every morning on a bike, or shop at Costco and bring home the 4 huge boxes on a bike, specially in the rain"
7. "people will ride their bikes to work from suburbs and still show up to work in a suit and tie, oh sure we will have showers in every office building and everyone will have 2 sets of clothes and shower at work again every morning, and if you are wondering, no we don't care about the extra water usage, lowered work productivity, practicality of ten/hundred of people all showering at an office at once in the AM, etc."
8. "it's just fine not requiring identifying plates on bicycles, it's not like if a cyclist gets into any situation or accident we'd need to be able to identify him on scene or anything like that"
9. "it's perfectly fine for cyclists not to require any operating lessons to obey the rules of the road, and they can pretend to be pedestrians, cars, and anything in between as it pleases them"
10. "it's perfectly fine for the police to not reprimand cyclists for gross infractions of traffic rules they witness, because after all how do you follow, identify or stop a cyclist if you're in a police car in traffic because the street has only 1.5 lanes left and the cyclist is still on the road for some reason and maneuvering between cars stuck in traffic?"
11. "who needs insurance for cyclists? it's not like they're ever the ones at fault in any collision or damage caused to property, or a person on foot, in a car, etc. - they're always the victim"
