One cyclist who decided to joust with cars in the streets that were not closed to autos rather than pedal peacefully in the no-car zone told the Guardian that the day was "about giving people a dream, showing us what a city could look like without cars, a type of utopia." One person's utopia might be another's Hades, but that matters little to those who want to force their vision of utopia on everyone else. They so believe in their concepts of paradise that they have no problem using coercion to draw everyone into their fantasies.https://climatechangedispatch.com/wp-content/uploads/images_pics8_paris.jpg
