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

[Trennschleifer]

They will always argue that "city X's mass transit doesn't work because there's not enough of it".

I hate congestion on streets. We need more lanes, there's simply not enough of them.

Oh wait, yeah they'd hate that once again. Double standards, because otherwise they wouldn't have *any* standards.

You just know this is going to be a good one.

Oh, so the same road design that makes it comfy to ride your bicycle as your method of commuting? Gotteem.
These fucks would be the first to cry if they narrowed roads down for on-street parking, cause it would make it way more annoying and dangerous for bicycles as well. Cause just adding bike lanes doesn't prevent cars from using the whole width of the road. You would have to physically narrow it down with obstructions like cars or trees / sidewalks.

Yes, unironically. Go with the damn flow of the traffic. I personally do not feel comfortable being slower than the rest of traffic on our highways, because I don't want to be rear ended by some bafoon. You know, the greater the speed difference the more forces occur when someone smashes into you. Also, you're not the police. Stop enforcing speed limits by slowing everything down to what's legal.

If there's one thing I hate, it's people overtaking other people at a speed difference of 1 km/h or mp/h. Because it's so nice sitting behind someone doing 120km/h on their speedometer, while yours shows 115. Do these people not know that speedometers can be off? Just cause you're driving the limit does not mean that you're *actually* doing the limit. Quit holding others up for gods sake. Have you considered "Just Move Over"? I hate wanna-be-cops.

Hey look, one guy gets it. Driving in the same direction as everyone else (like on a highway) is pretty damn safe. There's no one who can suddenly T-Bone you. Theoretically at least. Going with the flow of the traffic also helps avoid rear-end crashes, or people just cutting in infront of you.
Also, at least in G*rmany (Spare me for uttering that disgusting word), highway fatalities are 5 times lower than on regular rural roads and the likes of those.
Although even as a huge petrolhead and notorious 10-km/h-over-the-limit speeder, i have to admit that driving way over the limit is exponentially more dangerous, as your time to react decreases.

Redditors just overreact about everything, but this wild. This person talks about this incident like their father just looked them in the eye and asked them to shoot someone in the head and it's scarred them for life.

In their mind they were just asked to plow through 20 Kindergardeners and a group of cyclists while doing 5mph over the limit.

All I have to say to OP is this:

 

[Steam Deck Verified]

For how long did this retard get stuck in the birth canal without oxygen? It's luxury because instead of being at work, you're day-drinking on deck and getting pampered, fed, and entertained around the clock by cruise staff who are towing you to an exotic location so you don't have to do it yourself. And despite the notoriously cramped rooms and the occasional asshole guest, the appeal is that it doesn't last forever. Imagine actually having to live on your average Carnival cruise to the Caribbean lmao. Probably not much different than inner city Chicago.

 

[Susanna]

I'll never understand the cruise ship people. You're stuck in the ship for days at a time, only able to shop in the ship's store, eat at the ship's restaurant, gamble in the ship's arcade, and so on. And most cruise passengers aren't there on VIP tickets, they have to pay to visit the pool/spa/whatever. Even the shittiest hotel doesn't charge you to visit the pool. And these people want everywhere to be like that. "But you get to visit a dozen cities instead of just one", but even when you do go ashore, you're supposed to, say, "experience Athens" in eight hours before the ship departs. That's barely enough time to visit the Acropolis Museum, let alone the Acropolis itself! I've been dragged on a cruise once, and nobody will ever drag me to another one. It's the worst possible way to spend a vacation. If you want to visit multiple cities then just book a flight or even go by train. I'd rather stay home than go on another cruise, that's how miserable they are.

Japan's rail system really is remarkably good.
Yet despite that, the only way for women to be safe from sexual harassment on it, is to ride on special carriages that males older than twelve aren't allowed on.

 

[Yamamura]

Have they stopped to consider why a lot of animes show kids walking around is because they're children that are 14 and they can't drive? In shows where the characters are adults a lot of them are shown driving.





It's not like carbrained American cartoons show kids getting around without cars

It always amuses me when they bring up the cruise ship as an example because it's probably one of the most environmentally destructive examples they can bring up. They probably have no idea how much carbon emissions the ship's engine creates to power all the auxiliary functions and how much waste it creates on one trip. There are many articles talking about resource intensive these ships are.

I've been on a cruise before. The closest thing I can compare it to is like being on a giant luxury camper van that takes you to different places. They're basically like a giant sea SUV.

 

[Baraka Obama]

I've spent enough time in Japan to know that this kind of street:

will frequently have cars running down it in both directions with nowhere safe to walk. You have to keep a constant eye out and be ready to either calmly walk to the side (Tokyo) or get the fuck out of the way (Kyoto).

The rail network in Tokyo is good but its not a fun place to walk. Especially if you've got a baby in a stroller.

 

[Xarpho's Return]

These are the same people who complain about kids playing with toy cars:

Our glorious leader has pointed out that even "high school slice of life" anime is so disconnected from reality it's comical.

Plus, how much of a bore do you have to be when asked the question, "What would you like in anime to be real", to answer "cars to be very rare"?

 

[LaxerBRO]

First, it matters which cruise line you are talking about.

Frens, don't let frens take Carnival or Margaritaville.

Second, you can't compare being on vacation to real life. I might as well say that my stay at the Fairmont Lake Louise is reflective of real life:

What non vacation life is like on a cruise ship:

Third, what cities transport you to various destinations 100's of miles apart?

Naruto and One Piece are the wrong genre for cars. It's like saying there were no cars in pirates of the Caribbean or Lord of the rings.

How do they imagine a person who needs to wear business attire would get to work by biking? Or is every area in their fantasy world so well served by mass transit it won’t be an issue?

 

[Seymour Duncan]

Some places also have pneumatic waste collection systems which eliminate the need for garbage trucks:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Automated_vacuum_collection (Archive)
The downsides are that they're very expensive and that it can be difficult to clear blockages in them.

A suburb somewhere in my general area set up one of those systems and it's so notorious that many new construction projects have refused to join the system entirely, going with classic dumpsters instead. That thing is very expensive, finicky to use (especially the limited intake port size, during the early days people would just pile their oversized items next to the receptacles) and too easy to clog.

Many places that attract the commuter cyclist crowd have showers for this express purpose.

 

[Yamamura]

How do they imagine a person who needs to wear business attire would get to work by biking?

Unironically their answer is probably yes. They think that everything can be solved by biking no matter how seemingly unfitting. If you explain to them why you can't they'll either berate you for not trying hard enough or show you some image of a person struggling to do that task on a bike they found on google.

Or is every area in their fantasy world so well served by mass transit it won’t be an issue?

I imagine their thoughts are similar to how a communist envisions their ideal utopia. "Real urbanism just hasn't been tried yet, because we haven't gotten rid of all cars yet".

>what fuckcars thinks happens
"Oh gosh, the pedestrian crossing is lit up again? I'd better be extra careful and bring my car to a slow and complete stop even though I see no one crossing."

>what actually happens
"One of these things is lit up again with no one in it? Ah well, may as well drive on through."

The disconnect is hillarious. One moment they're having an apoplectic fit that every carbrain trying to kill them personally, the next moment they honestly think making faces at the cars and hitting pedestrian crossings they have no intention of using is going to "teach them a lesson". Nigger, we literally live in a country that has to lock up half its stock to prevent joggers from stealing it, your faith in your ability to shame people effectively is adorable.

They would either suggest you live in a 15 minute city or some complicated plan.

• 15 Minute City

Get ready for a micro-apartment as you are starting your career. 700 sq feet? Nah, man.

More like 150 to 200.

Feeling claustrophobic? Just go to your 3rd space!

Still feeling down? Get drunk and forget your worries!

Not working? Talk to all your urbanites friends so they can convince you it's normal!

Last resort? Get some SSRI's.

Da Science indicates that humans only need 100-400 sq feet.

---

Folks! This is why we need WFH!
Or
I used to be homeless so you can just ride your bike in early and clean yourself off in the restroom with the sink and wet wipes! Just roll your suit up and put it into a saddle bag then dress yourself at work.
Or
My company has a gym so perhaps if your company has one you can shower there.

---

The whole NJB thing isn't impossible just impractical. Not only that but they tend to be bougie as hell without consideration for those in the working class or those whose jobs require physical labor. Many of those people would love to live in the suburbs but to them, they can't see opposition to not wanting to live outside of 15 minute cities.

He also really likes that Nebula doesn't have comments:

Jason also has pronouns in his bio. He added them sometime between December 2022 and June 2023, per archives:

The warning to not repost his tweets is pretty recent (the September 2023 archive does not have it) and is probably related to his recent spergout over a fan reposting his tweets on a social media site owned by the owner of a car manufacturer.

The pronouns are strange, especially this late in the game. Is anyone misgendering him? Does his mid-life crisis involve crossdressing? Is the reason why he's constantly pissy at everyone and gaining weight because he's taking estrogen?

The schadenfreude if Jason trooned out would be amazing to watch.

With trooning out these days you just never know these things. Sometimes it just comes out of left field and you never see it coming to a person you'd least expect.

As for the pronouns I usually notice these days that it's just tributary gesture to show you submit to globohomo.
