Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy announced Tuesday that his department would redirect $1.73 billion in Biden-era grants away from establishing “DEI bike lanes” to build roads and bridges instead.
So, what exactly is a “DEI bike lane?”
The Daily Wire pointed to former Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg’s claim that a series of 2021 grants funding bike lanes would serve to “improve infrastructure, strengthen supply chains, make us safer, advance equity, and combat climate change.”
Upon hearing “equity,” President Donald Trump’s goons can’t help but get triggered into attacking any federal spending that won’t benefit them directly. In reality, those Biden-era grants directed funds to build a new transit center in North Carolina, replace bridges in New Mexico, extend streets in New Hampshire, install traffic lights and crosswalks in Missouri, and install bike lanes in Seattle, among other projects. Now the financial status of these projects is unclear.
WTF is a “DEI bike lane?” Does your bike need to be fabulous to use it?
It’s just a Nazi dog whistle to get their base riled up as the midterms approach.
They have to make the DEI bike lanes more important than affordability or their leader’s rape and felonies. Just like they made Haitians eating non-existent pets more important than literally anything else heading into the last election.
They saw bi in the name and decided it must be banned.
Fucking bicyclicans
I think it’s pretty obvious that only gay dudes ride bikes
Yes that’s the entire reason I no longer cycle. My bike has let itself get rundown, has not paid attention to its physical self, and looks like something that just hangs out in the garage all the time. I think it just gave up that it’s middleaged self can’t compete with newer flashier models
Yes. My bike is super gay. It’s so gay it did three seasons of Broadway and did great at Cannes
until it got lost in the basement of the Alamo
