Nope. My island is 424,4 km², Ilha da Madeira is 741 km². We are related to Açores

How is that possible? That's like only a little over 2 meters per second.

We have a lot of pedestrians walking in the bike lanes here too, on the less busy roads at least. Here I think they do it to avoid dog walkers. I see about one actual cyclist a month.

Leverage. His head was moving a lot faster because of the way his body rotated around its centre of gravity, so it hit the ground at a significantly higher speed than his bike was moving. He also landed on the back of his skull, where even a relatively small impact can cause massive brain trauma.
It's the same reason cars have such tall fronts these days, which I've rambled about before, in this very thread; when a person is hit at low speed by a low-profile vehicle, their body is rotated around the impact point and their head is accelerated down toward vehicle at a much higher speed, which can cause catastrophic injuries. The same low speed impact from a much taller vehicle is paradoxically less likely to cause injury, especially if the vehicle is about the same height as the person, as there is less leverage from a higher impact point and less distance for the head to travel.
Basically, wear a helmet if you're on a bike, or other sort of vehicle that doesn't offer impact protection. It will save your life.

The main one here gets so much pedestrian that I prefer to share the road with cars than use it, is safer for all parties. To stop a bike is harder than any car, inertia is too strong please nerf

So what you're saying is that /r/fuckcars should love SUVs?

I like how he clearly censors the flags because they are probably some big no-no for the reddit liberal fags.
I also feel amused the biggest gripe of a 16 year old tranny on a war zone (where it's 90% likely his father will be drafted and soon, he will too) is about cars and bikes.
I'd be worried about getting the fuck out and avoiding the draft gangs and border control with my family in tow before we get blown up by a Russian cruise missile or drone, but I guess autists have different priorities.

If they thought SUVs were preferable, then they should take a look at the Daewoo/Chevrolet Damas, a Suzuki Carry rebadge, and is pretty much the defacto vehicle in Uzbekistan:
They were also built in South Korea, all the way until 2021.
I'm not sure if either SK or Uzbekistan are countries that r/fuckcars people would genuinely want to live in though.

Most urbanists / people we sperg out about don't focus on small islands but on US cities or how older cities in Europe are much better (in a way they like) than the US.
I fully concede that outlier areas might need special consideration in terms of transit or housing.
I don't know about your housing situation but the average house size is 2,000 square feet in the US. Obviously, such large plots might not be possible in island area like Singapore or other places like Hong Kong. If people want to live over a restaurant or shop in a 500 square foot place and go out to the pub / local park to socialize or if they feel cramped, they are free to.
Myself?
I prefer not to wake up to a screaming baby next door, some rap music invading my serenity, or some abuela making menudo stinking up the apartments around her. I don't want not having a yard but instead having to deal with crackheads, criminal niggers, and the stench of piss at a local park.
But if one likes the energy, "diversity", or some new "exotic" restaurant / hip club, they are free to live in an urban area with their Funko Pops.
I do not.
However, these fucks don't like people living in the suburbs. They want to make travel to and from the suburbs to be as expensive as possible. They want to dramatically reduce the size of streets in cities to a one lane road in each direction.
In their place they want to put in parks, bus lanes, more outdoor seating for restaurants, and large wide sidewalks. But how wide do sidewalks in cities need to be? Why do they want to put a park next to roads that will be used by buses, delivery trucks, etc or even cars if they permit? Why would people want to dine next to this same street and get exhaust with their meal?
The answer is they don't. They just hate roads for personal car use.
Just look at this urbanists video and how they want to get rid of Las Vegas Blvd. and don't even know what to replace it with:

For those of you not in the know, the World Cup will be hosted in that industrial hellhole known as Jersey. Expect a massive uptick in these urbanist types lecturing everyone on how awful American infrastrcutre is and even maybe a few smug Euros who look at that fucking shithole and extrapolate it to the entire US.
I really do hate these faggots with a passion with their deluded view of Europe. These retards have a million misonceptions and can never take being told they are fucking wrong. Saw some retards purporting this idea of right to roam in Europe meaning you can walk in someone's backyard or on some company property and climb cell towers and shit, and that makes Europe ten times better. What Right to Roam actually exists in a few countries and means is that if you are on some hike in the countryside or some forests you can cross over private property, as long as you stay on whatever trail you are making for yourself, and not that you can be a nuisance in some fucker's property.
Honestly there could be a whole fucking thread devoted to retards and their massive misconceptions of European infrastructure, laws, and everything else.

Ah yes, let's get rid of cars in a city that averages 40°C+/100°F+ during the summer, people like dying of heat strokes on their way to the convenience store.
If it weren't for the car and AC Las Vegas wouldn't be inhabitable period.

Disappointed that the thumbnail wasn't pointed out for being demolished partly because of a big development that ended up not happening (it's obscure, and I'm not sure that urbanists would care anyway).
Plus, they never seem to acknowledge that the higher societal trust in Europe is being actively destroyed, yet they sneer at images of the 1950s when America's societal trust was still intact (before the 1960s radically changed that).
Las Vegas DOES naturally have some rain, streams, and vegetation. Ancient cities in deserts usually are built near oases or ports, but there is a limit to expansion. The Strip itself was built south of Las Vegas, and was remarkable because it's hard enough to build a city in a vacuum, much less a desert.
