Removing bike lanes generally entails grinding the paint off the surface of the roadway with an asphalt grinder, it removes like the top quarter inch of pavement and isn't destructive.

But reactionary and right wing politicians are so singularly obsessed with destroying both our social and physical infrastructure, a maniacal need to tear apart everything good and useful in society, that they can never resist using the language "RIP OUT" in regards to bicycles. RIP OUT the arteries of society.

It's just rip and tear. Shred. Burn. Destroy. Attack. Demolish. War. These ghouls cannot create, build, or nourish. They can only cosplay supervillain shit, because they think like comic book supervillains.
