I saw a guy with a shirt once that said something like “street parking is theft” and I was really excited. Gave him two thumbs up and he was confused until he looked down at his shirt.
I’m that guy that always forgets what shirt I’m wearing when someone says “nice shirt”. Gotta look down at my chest. I do like how universal this types of quick interactions are with strangers. Something wholesome about it.
I actually strategically wear Mario Bros. shirts when I’m meeting new people, since that’s a fandom that is largely universal and people always seem really happy to see them.
Good idea. I should get a Luigi shirt and I’ll get dual fandoms.
The signs say “Park,” what do you expect people to do?
To be fair… I feel like “buried under a metric shit ton of snow” to be extenuating circumstances. How are Canada’s bike lanes when it gets this bad? Because I’m not sure how to solve the “plow makes piles of snow” problem
Some bike lanes are prioritized for plowing. It’s easier when the bike lanes are separated from the road.
Talk to Denmark, not Canada. https://www.architekturaibiznes.pl/en/snow-this-is-not-a-symbol,42971.html
In the regions that have proper bike lanes they plow them with little atv things. Throw on some studded tires and it ends up being safer than the rest of the year when its bad enogh for drivers to stay home. Sadly the routes were only completed after I moved to an area much shittier to bike in so I never got to try out the fixes to my former wipeout zone
If there’s not a car in the way, you can plow travel lanes. In big cities, snow is literally trucked away, so it’s not like you’d be moving the problem further up onto the sidewalk.
You’d think. I’m in the suburbs of NY, and during this last snowstorm, my neighbors and I all made sure our cars were off the streets for the plows. The plow came once, in the middle of the storm, got the middle of the road and left. Infuriating.
In Canada a lot of bike lanes are just shitty painted lines on the shoulder and turn into the snow bank all winter.
like, a bike lane will be “we painted the solid white line three feet out from the curb, mind the grates and trash”.
Yeah, that’s what we have out here at best.
Montreal has a ton of separated, two-way bike lanes.
K-W is toying with them, but hasn’t really committed yet.
Now, painted bike gutters is what you get the most of, by far…
Same way you clear car lanes. Plow and truck the snow. Salt.
How are Canada’s bike lanes when it gets this bad?
They get plowed by these tiny plows, cute AF.
Just build parking garages on the border of the city and only allow utilities, taxis, and busses to drive…
I guess it’s okay to park on Park Avenue because it’s called Park Avenue.
cars are a plague
