Hi Me!
Hi This Guy!
It's so quiet. 🥹
As NotJustBikes pointed out multiple times, we have the idea that cities are loud, but it's actually cars that are loud.
i hear people talk and laugh. That is what i want a busy street to be like.
Kind of eerie
There are probably more people moving unhindered through this short video than you see in an average traffic jam photo.
yes, people counted and compared. This plus trams has waaay more throughput than a usual car intersection. Check out not just bikes video on that topic with various combinations and graphs, and get mad at car infrastructure with us!
Oh yeah no I’ve been in that camp for a long while. I’m actively furious that my state had an approved plan for high speed rail like 15 years ago connecting all the major cities in the area, and connecting to the national line. And then some asshole republican came in and scrapped it even though it was already fully funded and ready to go.
It would be active right now if that hadn’t happened. Instead I have to drive 2.5 hrs to see my friend, 2 hours to go to my specialist doctor, and the same 2 hours in the opposite direction to get to the national line. All of those trips were supposed to be under 45 min on the train.
So so fucking salty about it. I fucking hate driving. I hate having to pay to maintain a vehicle. I hate that car infrastructure means walking is almost impossible. I’d love to ride a bike or bus locally, but the infrastructure doesn’t sufficiently exist for either to be practical in my area (I’m not riding my bike on the road. People here would actively try to kill me.)
I am sorry about that. My place isn't perfect either and we get a couple of deaths every year. Cycling isn't accepted by all car drivers, but it is a normal concept anyway.
But i am happy not to live in the USA for example.
Thanks :) I see other countries and how they accommodate people who can’t or won’t or don’t want to drive, and I seriously die a bit inside because solarpunk could be everywhere, it could have, and should have, been here! And instead it’s only places I can never live (too disabled and/or unskilled to emigrate) with the places I can live being wildly opposed to making life even the slightest bit better.
At the same time, I’m genuinely thrilled that that’s a thing at least somewhere. Jealousy notwithstanding, I’m intensely happy for areas that aren’t actively hostile to non-car transit. It all has to start somewhere to prove it works. Trickle-down solarpunk :p
And many more mildly hindered, but in a way which is easily and safely resolvable while maintaining flow
Thats the thing with biking, at that speed you dont need signals or anything. People will just figure it out.
See, this is why you shouldn’t encourage bikes. That street looks totally unusable! 😤😤😤🚗🚗🦅🇱🇷
classic public service inefficiency. If they made the lanes a little wider cars could drive here too. But of course they forgot that.
With so many bikes it's going to make it impossible for cars to go through quickly! reeeeee!
