Reply to comment by Thot_P0cket in Third Bicyclist Killed in Philadelphia in January 2023 - Bicycle Coalition of Greater Philadelphia by hdhcnsnd

I heard some bullshit podcast and WHYY that said the ATVs are part of Philly culture and if that black people don’t have ATVs to drive then they will do crime. Absolutely Pathetic. As a minority myself being reduced to “ keep me busy or I’ll do crime” Is humiliating.

I mean as much as it sucks I think there is some merit in the idea that ATV culture occupies the time of a lot of wayward young men and if you took that away they would probably get into gang banging.

That doesn't make the ATV problem less of one, but is probably true.

That could be literally anything, sports, running, sewing! Something that doesn’t have to inconvenient absolutely everyone around them.
