Upvoted for Alan Fischer reference in the wild. His bits go so much harder than pretty much anyone else in urbanist youtube
Compromise: Steam trains.
What about adding a lane?
We’ve already added a lane.
Yes, but what about a second lane?
I don’t think he’s ever tried adding a second lane, Pippin.
This is probably one of the top ten most incredibly based pictures ever. I love it. Thank you for brightening my day, OP
I’m going to bike to a restaurant in 15 minutes after work today, maps says it takes cars 30 :)
don’t forget the 15 minutes looking for a parking spot and 10 minutes walking from the parking spot to the restaurant
Met my coworkers after work yesterday. 21 minute bike or car ride by the GPS. By the time they parked downtown it was 35 mins, meanwhile I shaved a minute off the GPS :) feels goooood
My favourite thing to do is ‘race’ the person who offers me a ride home all the time. Like, I appreciate the offer but trust me, I will be home before you could get me there AND I’ll get to enjoy the sunshine.
Needs trees.
While, yes, it does, urban and suburban sprawl is far, far worse for trees. Go to your local Wal Mart super center and, not counting the garden center, tell me how many trees there are per acre in the parking lot. Now multiply that by every big box store and mile of stroad and highway.
> mfw I live in Walkable city > want to walk around in it > walkway is a fucking tiny narrow corridor of concrete > be forced to walk between congested car traffic and escooters, with no pedestrian crossings anywhere > get run over by some clueless skateboarderMy city is super walkable with great walking and biking infrastructure. Still get run over by some fuck on a bicycle or escooter on the sidewalk or zebra crossing.
Bought an eBike last weekend because I’d rather be soaked by rain than sitting in traffic to/from work. It feels damn good to finally be the person in an otherwise empty bike lane, passing countless cars that are going nowhere.
I love my ebike.
I’ve been big into bikes forever, but the ebike just makes it super convenient to bike to work.
otherwise empty bike lane
Over here in New York, everyone got an e-bike and now we get bike jams in the bike lane during commute hour. Dunno how I should feel about it. Aladeen? :(: Still faster than a car for sure.
Party on, party on!
All those escooters getting in the way of my walking.
Hey! I’m walking here.
All those walkers getting in the way of my escootering.
Hey! I’m escootering here.
Motorists hate this one simple trick
me when I cycle to school on rush hour instead of picking the car (I know I’ll be stuck if I do)
make the overhead train a 12 lane freeway and it’s any random metrohell in texas. paths right next to frontage roads, a mile+ walk just to get from one side of the freeway to the other–safely.

I just need to carry my hang glider and sailboat :(

Be happy that you can use an e-scooter or bike. Imagine being unable to use such a device, crappy public transport, and that in a city that cuts off cars…
IIRC this often comes up and actually removing cars generally helps people with disabilities. Sure you may always have a few exceptions, but disabled parking can still exist while everyone that is able bodied can walk.
The problem is that it does not remove cars in that city. People still need to get to work, and public transport is so bad, it is hardly an alternative.
The mayoress simply f-cks up car traffic, only marginally improves bike traffic, and public transport (busses) have been victims of cutting into car traffic, too.
Better make a big detour around that place.
Most people I know work within a distance they could easily cycle. All of them go to shops that could easily be cycled to. Yet they all drive pretty much every time.
It’s not so much about eliminating all cars, but discouraging their use for so much. Most people drive even if it’s less than a mile. My partner is often surprised at how quickly I can cycle to the shops and back, well yeah I didn’t have to wait in traffic of course it’s faster. Would be even faster if I had an ebike, probably, not sure how fast I can cycle compared to the 15mph ebike limit. I know I can sprint well into the upper 20s but sustained speed will be a lot less than that.
Back when I studied in that city, I did commute by bike, 20km each way, and was much faster than public transport. I am happy that I only have business there two or three times a year.
Motorcycle passes them all
