That graph basically proves what I've already known: That most of the new traffic came from normies that were frustrated about their higher gas prices and were trying to find other solutions. The Ukraine War began in February of 2022 which drove the gas prices up, and their rise in popularity basically colleralates to that perfectly, with the real takeoff happening two months later in April of 2022. I can't imagine it's going to grow much more than that. The API protest likely did some serious damage to their growth, I distinctly recall they were one of the last to lift their protest that weren't just replaced by Spez's cronies outright. Not to mention the "slash tires to dab on da carbrains" crowd is getting really, really brazen, as is wont to happen when the far-left terminally online trannies put down stakes in your community. People will tolerate a lot of things, but no one outside of a deep blue full-brainworm city is going to sit there and smile while someone talks about destroying their property.
A lot of those types can't do that, or at least can't do it easily. The pedals on serious roadbikes aren't pedals, they're basically the same type of locking hook you see on skis and bike shoes have little metal clips on the bottom to interface with them, it allows you to always have your shoe on the optimal place on the pedal for power while also allowing you to pull up on the pedal as well as push down so you aren't wasting movement while pedaling, it also makes the shoes very uncomfortable to walk in. And yes, people elect to make their bikes and shoes way less versatile like this and then ride them on public roads where they are less equipped to handle changing conditions. And yes, this is everyone else's fault.
Both good points, I was overthinking things.
you say that like its a good thing
Just shows the extremely low bar than even Redditors fail to meet. That is if they were telling the truth and not just making up shit for good boy points.
Chris has many dysfunctions, inability to drive is (un)fortunately not one of them. He is a sheltered manchild with a weak grasp on reality, not a mush-brained vegetable that needs to be chauffeured everywhere.
It takes a lot to be incapable of driving. You can be missing your legs and still rig up hand controls to drive. That's the bar.
These fucks the same ones buying up land in towns like mine and ruining them.
I don't even think it's the biggest issue in the world. Sure, it can be annoying going from 40 to getting into a parking lot, but that's what actually knowing how to drive and driving school is for. It's like playing a video game with a different controller than you're used to; don't be autistic, git gud scrub
At the end of the day, if you're a driver, you're responsible for dealing with the streets. Should the city planners have done better? Sure. But bitching non stop makes you look weak and like a pussy.
That's the tragic thing about them, I find myself agreeing with the problems they bring up, but vehemently disagreeing with the conclusions they draw. They are correct when they say train travel in this country is in a sorry state, they are correct when they say cities need better public transit infrastructure, they are correct when they say government regulations force auto manufacturers to make trucks into gigantic land zeppelins. It's just that their solution more often than not is to chimp out and fling shit at the average car driver. But not the people that actually caused these issues of course.
