Not Just Bikes / r/fuckcars / Urbanists / New Urbanism / Car-Free / Anti-Car - People and grifters who hate personal transport, freedom, cars, roads, suburbs, and are obsessed with city planning and urban design

My car is a old luxury model from 05, if I want it to lock, I have to do that myself. It's easy enough to do, press the button, but it goes to show how far cars have come
i have to admit I kind of like the self-locking doors, the satisfying "chunk" as you accelerate is almost reminiscent of large machinery doing things, like a real tiny version of this

some cars also adjust the stereo volume as you accelerate and stop, to keep it "audibly constant" vs road noise. There really are quite a few nice things with modern cars that you don't really notice unless you regularly drive both a new and ancient car.

Self locking doors are nice, especially if you get in a crash, it's just another insurance policy of keeping the doors from flying open. There's a lot to like on modern cars

The adaptive volume isn't all that new of a feature and wasn't even limited to luxury cars. To my memory, it has been a feature since the 1980s as seen in the E32 7 series. It then made its way into the E36 3 series and convertibles like the NB Miata referred to as Bose Audiopilot. I think pretty much every car has that feature. Even aftermarket radios do as well but use input from the mic to scale up volume instead of taking input from the wheel speed sensors.

I've actually had to disable it on some setups, because the car itself was so quiet inside that you really didn't need it louder even at freeway speeds.
 
/r/fuckcars discusses highway funding:

There's a bunch of retarded comments like usual:
1685566430438.png
1685566455686.png
1685566478475.png
Only one person bothered to look up how the Highway Trust Fund is funded:
1685566188049.png
It's entirely funded by taxes on gas, trucks, and cars. The only non-user fee that pays for highways at the federal level is transfer payments that make up for the shortfall caused by diversions to fund transit, which one person did point out:
1685566503547.png

Someone also pointed out how Japan has a "profitable" passenger railways system (they're not profitable, but being the landlords of every major commercial center pays enough to run the train):
1685566058759.png
Everything u/planning_throwaway1 said is correct. u/IanTorgal236874159 is a moron.

Anyone who tried to point out that non-car users depend on roads was heavily downvoted:

We don't need roads and trucks, just trains and cargo bikes:

/r/fuckcars admits the real reason why like transit is because they're drug addicts:

Of course they would bring up using public transit as babysitting for them. It checks out hard, they want to be coddled. That one weed smoking faggot is a perfect example: fucker couldn't even make sure he was gonna be safe while smoking for the first time.

Also Rossman's video is gonna piss off a lot of people and it's gonna be real cool.
 
Louis Rossman gives NotJustBikes a mention:
It's hilarious because "experience, not statistics" is exactly the same thing that Jason Slaughter is parroting nowadays too. So all that shit about how you're statistically less likely to be a victim of crime than a victim of a car accident sorry, a traffic violence goes out the window.

And I have to ask again, Jason, what's the experience of walking through homeless camps in downtown Vancouver? What's the experience of hearing gunshots going off in Chicago? What's the experience of being trapped on a subway car underground in NYC with a homeless guy yelling and screaming and you not really knowing if he's going to physically contact you or not?

He has never answered that question. I don't think he ever will.

Btw @larossmann if you ever log in again, give this thread a read :D

What they don't realize is there's another danger when taking PT while drunk/high is getting jumped by some opportunistic thug. Honestly it's a very real thing and it only takes having it happen once to change someone's outlook of the world.

The experiences of Louis' commentors back up the idea that the public transit safety statistics are questionable:

1685600743054.png
1685600780286.png
1685600793177.png
1685600945162.png
1685600858381.png
How many of those incidents were reported to the police and marked in official statistics as crimes? Not many.

Also, as several of the commentors point out, how safe driving is depends on how good of a driver you are more than what others do:

1685601202791.png

I loved this comment that points out how disingenuous Jason and friends are:

The replies to that comment are also pretty good:

We don't need roads and trucks, just trains and cargo bikes
Do these people have no concept of anything outside of consumer goods or items larger than a fridge? Not to sperg too much but I work in airfreight shipping where stuff is typically small and the larger stuff is limited by planesize but even then we were processing multiple orders daily of industrial goods that were anywhere from multiple 200 lbs 48x40x24 inch skids to stuff as large as 125x90x65inch 1200 lbs pieces. None of this of this could ever be put in a cargo bike and ridden 200 miles to the nearest large airport that can accept them. Not to mention to mention trying to maintain the various shock watches and tilt control stickers to ensure that they aren't damaged in transit.

I will defend cargo vans a little because we use them frequently, they can hold more weight than you think but they're limited to 1 maybe 2 regular sized pallets. They're not dock high so you need a forklift if you want to load or unload large pieces.

As a welder, the cargo van/truck deserves to be defended. They are multi use vehicles that can handle multiple tons of cargo, which while that isn't much when measured in pallets, it allows not only effective distribution of goods but equipment such as gas powered welders, which technically a F-150 weight class can handle (though really you want a 250 for that).
If there's a natural disaster such as a earth quake, you want vans and especially trucks to be able to respond, since at that point, the trains are probably gone
 
FireShot Capture 070 - bicycle menace on Twitter_ _lived in Provo, Utah for six months last _ ...png
Furfag talks about how much he hated living in provo, how sterile it all was, while presenting a photo of enormous houses, and a beautiful view of Mt Timpanogos.
Yes, you read that correctly, he prefers Chicago.

Keep in mind, Utah has high birth rates, low crime rates, relatively lax gun laws, and is racially homogeneous.

Basically, every moonbat's worst nightmare. You gotta have scholars beating the crap out of each other, shit flowing down the street, and dirty needles and crackheads all over the place and shrieking like howler monkeys.

Oh yeah, and falling asleep to the sound of gunfire. Lovely.

I bet you it’s because Utah doesn’t have a large nightlife (aka club and bar) scene. Every single time I’ve heard someone in real life call a city boring, they were actually complaining about a lack of party spots, not potential things to do.

Also, why does that guy want to live in the North Side of Chicago? The West and South Sides are just as dense and walkable and are much more affordable and diverse.

Edit:
He actually answered why he doesn't live on the South Side:

There are a lot of train lines and bus routes that run through the South Side and to the Loop (where he likely works because Chicago's transit is designed to funnel people there)/North Side. If he wants to bike to work, all he has to do is get to Lake Shore Drive and then he can follow a very nice bike trail all the way there.

I have it on good authority that cars never make commutes faster in dense cities, so the only reason left for why he doesn't want to live there is racism.

There are bars but they are small yes. On the upside, we have a lot of other stuff, are throwing, bowling, arcades, etc. As for the train stuff, you have the big UTA line that heads to Salt Lake, the rest is light rail in the city, and then freight. That's really because of geography, lots of mountains. Roads are the best option on how to get around for the most part.
 
Have any of these dipshits been beaten up or shot yet? I fully expected that to happen once they got bold enough to start fucking with people's cars irl.
These activists target upper class areas in deep blue cities as a way to lessen the risk of being shot or being confronted by an angry POC.

As tough as they talk and as much favorable media coverage they get, a violent confrontation with a POC will destroy their movement.

Now you won't hear much about the actual confrontation but what you will notice is t their social media suddenly going dark and all media mentions just stop.

Kind of like the CHOP when they kill those two Black kids.
