unfortunately i think the crab bucket mentality kicks in when sitting in stop and go traffic and seeing someone breeze by in a bike lane makes people so enraged they’re against cycling infrastructure for the rest of their lives

Or some of them can make the mental transition towards "hey, I could also be the one enjoying a free ride instead of being stuck in my car here"

I keep wishing there was a better way to project invitation when in this situation. All I’ve come up with is to appear happy and relaxed—sit upright, look around and smile, eat something as I roll.

We’re so instinctively competitive though it feels hopeless.

Depends if I seat cozy drinking my warm take away coffee while it is pouring rain or snow.

nah its more like no right of way on right turns. the breaking of fundamental rules by adding bikes.
