Made the same choice as this woman many, many times. All you can do is hope the drivers of whatever vehicles are behind you decide not to murder someone that day.

    It’s infuriating but also it must be admitted that carceral approaches to traffic safety will not work. However, I do very much like the idea of going after the company who put the bin there that blocked the safer bike infrastructure that existed.

      Is there a way to make those big steel bins unusable, quickly, without big power tools? Given their nature I can’t imagine that just throwing corrosives in will do any permanent damage. But if there’s a way to make a bin permanently unusable without getting caught, with just what one can casually carry, then maybe some property destruction will incentivize the bin owner to stop pulling that crap.
