For the first one, with little more than bolt cutters or a battery powered grinder, I can steal your bike. Try that with a car.
As for the second, I hope you don't wake up late or there'd a delay.

Let me guess, single, no kids and fairly young? I'm not saying this to be dismissive. I happy that this person is getting exercise and saving money by cycling to work, that's honestly great for them. I'm just very doubtful how universal that is as they seem to imply. Most people just don't have two extra hours everyday to just waiste on inefficient commute.
Let's just put one variable there, younger kids. Just one extra hour with them is so valuable. An hour could used to play. Do homework. Cook a great home made meal. Go for a bike ride with them. With young kids it probably wouldn't be just an hour each way because you might need to take the kids to daycare or school. Those stops might really add up if they aren't very conveniently on the same direction and can you even take them in early enough to get to work on time? That isn't even talking about worse side what will you in an emergency? You are over an hour away from them and so basically useless.
Also, these people do realize you can temper your road rage? Emotional control is a skill and nothing about cars or driving prevents from using it.

Let us all take a moment and say.
I hate the anti christ! I will not live in the pod! I will not eat bugs!
On a more serious note, isn’t it funny how these people purpose a world where others have to shoulder the burden of their vision?

I don't know what you're talking about. If I have a car, I can very easily steal your bike, and several others as well.

I think the biggest argument against the carfuckers is that they spend all their time thinking about cars and car drivers spend no time thinking about them at all.
The only way they can get their biking/public transit paradises is to literally ban all other options which shows what a fuck they must be.
But we should encourage them to show the chuds what's what and ban cars in San Fran and New York. Do it, fuckers, I'm behind you all the way.

Regarding crime:
Even if they do see it what will they do?
Are you going to call the cops or call the police by proxy when you notify security?
Don't you know that is risking Black and Brown lives!?! What are you a fucking RACIST?
Are you going to stop the theft yourself?
Stopping bike theft is racist!
Enjoy your shithole liberals.
Also note that the guy specifically states that his eyes are in a book on public transit. Not looking around for possible criminal activity.

Cities use far more resources. Concrete and glass require sand, the second most used resource on the planet. Destroying the ocean faster than the plastic waste ever will. Suburbia is built mostly with lumber.

I'm putting my tinfoil hat on a little bit for this one but the concept of "peak oil" is unironically an oil industry psyop to imply false scarcity. "Peak oil" has been discussed ad nauseam since the sixties. We've had "twenty years of oil left" for almost 60 years now. The whole concept was invented by this dude named M. King Hubbert who "correctly" (sort of, we'll get there) predicted the peak of American oil production in the early 70s. He wasn't right about a whole lot else, though. Here's some very interesting footage of him speaking on TV in 1976:
He predicted that global oil production would peak in the mid-90s and then experience a sharp decline that mirrors its initial rise. This was honestly pretty believable in the 70s after the OPEC oil shock. People started to grasp onto the idea that oil is technically a finite resource that would eventually run out. He wasn't wrong, either, by the standards of the day. And in the 50s he did accurately predict America's domestic oil production peaking in 1971 and declining afterwards.
Except:
Hubbert never fully considered the proliferation of newer and more effective technologies for oil extraction, such as the fracking and shale oil boom that began in the 2000s. The increased output from these new methods of extraction suddenly made domestic drilling profitable again and America ended up surpassing its previous 1971 peak in the 2010s. He was still technically correct in that conventional oil drilling methods would indeed decline, but peak oil production hasn't been met globally either. In fact:
Pretty much all major oil producing nations have yet to actually peak their production, with the possible exception of Norway. Canada, Iraq, and especially the United States all have very noticeable increases in just the last ten years. I saved the best graph of all for last:
This chart doesn't just cover electrical generation, it covers ALL types of energy usage. Despite all the fluff in the news about the "RENEWABLES TAKEOVER" and "RECORD CAPACITY INSTALLATION" and whatnot, the end result is still that the vast majority of energy that human society uses comes from coal, oil, and natty gas.
Notice how hydro is the only line with actual volume. This is because it's not a fucking meme like solar and wind power and can provide you an actually usable amount of energy. Nuclear is pretty based too I guess, but it's only really good for electrical generation. You can't have cars with nuclear batteries in them, what with all the horrible radiation accidents that would occur and such.
So, are we at "peak oil"? No. Not yet, anyways. Obviously it's not an infinite resource that'll never run out in a billion years, but this planet is so full of that sweet sweet boulder juice that we'll have invented a far superior replacement for it long before we run out of it. And it won't be a perfectly curved "peak" like Mr. Hubbert claimed, it'll slowly level off at some point before beginning a gradual descent. And yes, the oil companies know this shit too. They just don't speak out against it. And why would they? The public perceiving their products to be scarce and running out quickly only justifies them charging higher and higher prices for it. It only benefits them long term for people to believe fossil fuels are going to run out in a matter of decades, not centuries. So, no, you riding a bike instead of driving a Chevy Suburban is not going to prevent the no-oil end times.
I need to write shorter posts for this thread goddamn.

All that I heard from that paragraph is that he gets a 90 min workout in before work, I hope his work has a shower because the dude is going to smell ripe if the day was hot and himid. Also another downside is that guys who commute to work by bike often have to carry two sets of clothes (bike and work) which just adds an extra hassle in the morning and doubles the amount of laundry they need to do.

You and everyone else trying to flee the Urban Hellholes.
Best case is to hunker down for the initial panic and then venture out afterwards.

It will never not be funny when these people idolize the Netherlands as some sort of car-free utopia only to be told that's not remotely the case. People get facts about places wrong when they don't actually live in them, what a surprise.

They did the same thing for Canada. Granted that sentiment still exists but to a much lesser extent than say 2016, now it's Germany and the Netherlands. If I had to guess why I'd say it's a mixture of the illusion of Canada being a liberal utopia started to fade when the history of residential schools came to light and of course Trudeau's blackface plus Canada being "too American" compared to Europe.
I'd like to say that this whole fawning-over-Europe thing will fade soon like how it did with Canada but Canada is one country and Europe is dozens.
Yeah I'm sure it's Robert Moses' fault that you can't fuck. I'm sure the dating scenes in Amsterdam, NYC, Berlin, Boston, and Barcelona owe a lot to the walkability. No other factors, none whatsoever.

Ironically they are nostalgic for a post World War 2 time that they accuse Republicans of dreaming of. Clean prosperous white cities full of pedestrians and shops and life. They don't realize that places like New York City was paved in horse shit before cars. A huge problem with horses dying in the middle of the city and being left to rot until the city took care of it. They really just want to live in an urban rich white utopia.

It really do be like that. Deep down they know the cities are shit and filled with niggers and they are deeply angry at the whites for having left.
But the cities that do not have nigger problems voted for trump and that overrides everything else. It’s so tiresome.

Someone trolled urbanists and /r/fuckcars took the bait hook, line, and sinker:
No, you see a lot of semis on American highways.

This is a low density American county with a population in the millions:
Those aren't forests, those are single family neighborhoods:
Compare to Oslo:
The green areas are either low density (i.e. stuff outside of the 151 ring road) or wilderness (the dark green). The city center (where all the urbanists would live) looks like a concrete blob from a satellite view.

Is that... a traffic jam in Amsterdam? I thought Jason Slaughter's "The Best Country In The World For Drivers" video said Amsterdam was free of traffic jams because everyone was on bicycles so the roads were clear and uncongested. Could Jason have been cherry-picking and (gasp) told lies on the Internet?!
