That's what happens in my city, people hella mad about it
Car users arent people.
You lie. That's how. They aren't pro bike they are just saying it to make their point
Bike lanes suck. Separated bike paths are much better. Or just streets without cars at all, no need for a bike lane if there are no cars.

Some of them are against bike lanes because they say it gives drivers a false sense of entitlement and cyclists a false sense of security when they're supposed to be sharing the road.
That doesn't sound like this guy, though.
I ride an odd bike, a recumbent. I have seen a few cars watching me rather than the road, which is good for me — they give me loads of space — but bad for anyone ahead of me as the drivers show no lane control for a good 50m after they pass me. Where that happened most recently is also where a driver killed a cyclist by wandering into the bike lane despite having a six metre wide lane to themselves (even the cycle lane there is three metres wide)
Got a friend this way. He hates bikes on the road. And yells to get on the greenways etc. Cause slow his lifted f150, that he needs to commute and get groceries, down for 30 seconds. The bike then get on the greenway and then he removed they go too fast there.
Also he weighs about 300 lbs and doesn’t work out in any way.
Pro-life + anti-gun control = pro-birth.
Or in other words: He's pro after-birth abortions.
Birth them all; let school shooters sort them out
No, thats too messy. Cars cull the weak outside, where cleanup is easier.

"it's simple math" - read about that expression on Facebook, never actually had math themselves as they were home schooled in creationism and flat earth.

This is funny to me because the one time I was in NYC, the streets were empty but the sidewalks were congested as fuck.

That's obvious. He pays to use Twitter.
