[bad idea] Bum In a Lane

If bike riders were to get bike lanes for equal access to the streets (and they have), it would stand to reason that the only natural reasonable progression of unprejudiced access of the road for all would be to next begin lining the streets with lanes reserved for shopping carts being pushed by bums. The "bum lane" we could call it (I'm sure I'll even use it one day). I’ve had to pass enough bums and carts—not always both at the same time oddly enough—in the last few days to recognize this fact. Perhaps Buffalo could even be the leader in such progressive thinking. It’d be the first such instance for the city since electricity, but they’re somewhat comparable achievements. And definitely equally worthy of admiration and pride.
