God, the alt-right messaging network are desperate to find some messaging to fight urbanism on. In my experience, good urban design is an issue that really resonates with people across the spectrum in the US. That's why they tried to spin the 15-minute city conspiracy. The sad thing is that I know they're eventually going to find one that sticks.

A group promoting change that will have life-saving impacts for a vulnerable community, and positive effects for society as a whole, being thwarted because reactionary dipshits can't bear the thought that saving others' lives is a worthy trade for a vanishingly small change for themselves? I guess so...

"Big Bicycle"

Turns on reds fucking suck as a pedestrian. Makes it feel so dangerous sometimes.

"Big bicycle" puts some pretty funny images into my head

transit

As a biker I assume that every single car is actively trying to kill me at all times. This is one of those reasons.

The second time (of three) that I was hit by a car was because of right turn on red. Drivers go right while staring left, it's an obvious recipe for danger.

The other two times were drivers straight up not seeing me despite me being basically directly in front of them though. One did a left turn into me while I was in the opposing bike lane, the other did a right turn into me while I was crossing a crosswalk with the walk signal

I remember when I was first learning how to drive and was driving with an instructor...almost plowed into some people in a crosswalk while attempting to turn right on red (instructor saw it coming and used the instructor brake pedal before I even initiated the turn). Scared me shitless, and you best believe I learned my lesson.

But this is an easily predictable outcome. You've got a situation where the person turning right is going to be looking 180° in the opposite direction to the pedestrians/cyclists crossing to their right because the driver doesn't want someone to plow into them. Completely stupid thing to allow, especially in cities.

How can I make this about me? Or better yet, the people I hate?

oncoming traffic turning right is the most dangerous thing in the world to cyclist.

controlled intersection, random sidestreets, a fucking driveway. it's all the same. oncoming traffic will turn right across you. i've had so, so, so, so many close calls.

stay vigilant and safe out there everyone. if you have a side road to your right* definitely watch oncoming traffic up to your left* to see what they're doing.

yes it's exactly like that in that people want him to stop doing stupid shit because it's killing peope

My preschooler child can understand that they need to watch out for and be careful around smaller children on the playground. These people are just bloodthirsty assholes.
