Community Voices: Bike lanes are a conservative cause. Stop targeting the leaders who are advocating for them.

About a year ago, on my morning commute through northwest Bakersfield, I passed an intersection where a pickup had stopped at the corner. A bicycle lay crumpled between its bumper and the curb. A police officer was talking with a kid who looked middle-school age, almost certainly riding to school. Thankfully, no ambulance was leaving. But change the speed or the angle by a little, and that family’s morning ends very differently. I think about that kid every time I hear someone dismiss the city’s bike lanes as green paint nobody uses.
