I thought bike lanes were ‘DEI.’ Then an SUV killed my father (www.washingtonexaminer.com)

if you don't wanna read through this garbage, understandably, the obvious problem according to the autor who has never met another republican who is interested in safter streets is that the darn democracts keep using woke words and not like that this idiot and his ilk have a conception of street planning that is entirely solipsistic

Her complete inability to articulate what exactly the "left" does to turn off the right from bike lanes is super telling in this. But it's such a part of The Discourse (TM), that the right is not a conscious effort, but a constant reaction to whatever "the left" is doing. Any time the right does something crazy, like somehow link bike lanes to DEI, it's somehow the left's fault.

you can put a 2-stroke on a push bike instead of an electric motor

[–] WokePalpatine@hexbear.net 3 points 6 hours ago (1 children)

I did that. And even now I still see people who've done that to ride the trails around here. It is neat, though totally stupid nowadays.

[–] Le_Wokisme@hexbear.net 3 points 5 hours ago (1 children)

yeah it made some practical sense 15+ years ago but now there's little reason to do it. maybe biggs and straton will make an inline 3-wheel hybrid bike to go with the weird ass car they made.

Yeah, the car/engine manufacturer need to do these expensive-ass upscaled e-bike things is so stupid.

[–] Le_Wokisme@hexbear.net 2 points 4 hours ago

it's like when they couldn't sell any smart cars here so f-150s would come with a free one for a while

I think you could get some republicans with a saxonette but not a velosolex because fwd is for queers, obviously
