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

[Midwit]

Almost all (oldest kids at least) first car is the oldest car the family owns, which is often left over from when the family was small.

In Bongladesh most families can't afford to run (and almost always don't have the space for) more cars than drivers, so they just buy a second-hand shitbox for a few hundred quid when the kid gets his license.

Gee, I wonder why they want more Floyd riots.
When is the BIPOC (Bikes and Insufferable People of Cycling) community going to rise the fuck up and fight back against institutional travelism?

@quaawaa , thanks for the further clarification regarding minivans.

We just call all that stuff SUV's - there isn't a distinction drawn between the passenger type and the ones maximised for cargo over here.

I hate these people so much sometimes it's unreal.

I still don't get the one with the McDonalds and gas stations. Its a example of industry. You can fuel up your car, get a burger, then zip right on the highway in minutes. It's efficient as fuck. It's what is great about America.

I love that they're trying to use that image as a show that America is a corporate hell, but they're just mad that it's "Advertising"

it's not, "Advertising, Japan:"


"OOOOOOOO LOOK THEY'RE WALKING! SO WALKABLE"



It goes to show leftists are all fucking braindead when it comes to memes all they can do is regurgitate the same meme as a sort of "NO U" without understanding the original meaning or context.

"NO ACTUALLY U LIVE IN THE POD IN THE SUBURBS CHUD"

RadiKan on the left. Great pick because this small road is pedestrian only, but...

...wait a second, are those STROADS???

They can't read Japanese so the billboards are just background art to them. Even then, I don't even think it's the advertising they hate, otherwise they would rag on Times Square just as hard instead of defending NY as one of the few "good" cities in the US.


Also, if they truly hated advertising, then they should be a little kinder to suburbs which barely have any advertising outside the main streets of commercial districts.

...wait a second, are those STROADS???

The Nips are a lost cause, we need to nuke and firebomb their cities once again so they can rebuild them with true urbanist philosophy in mind.

The Cybertruck is retarded and deserves to be mocked along with its owners but these people probably don't understand why it's bad or the things it should be mocked for.

Besides that minivans are driven by teenagers as there first ride. You can tell none of the /fuckcars jobless bums weren’t cool in high school since they weren’t able to give their mates rides in the mini van.

The coolest motherfucker in my high-school had a Volvo 240 wagon. Every teenager wants a sports car but every teenager loves a car they can put all their friends into and cruise around.

Well the cybertruck is objectively cool. Urbanists just hate it because Musk Man made it.

The issue with any Tesla is that they aren't made by a car company, they are made by a tech company, and they suffer all the issues that products made by tech companies suffer. The compounding issue is that their customer base are tech buyers, not car buyers, and so they'll suck Tesla's cock and decry the detractors as luddites.

Urbanists are coomers:

Banging in a car isn't fun, the car is best utilized as a tool to get you and your girl to a place where it is fun to bang.

 

[An Sionnach Seang]

Bike lanes are bad though:

to be fair, a high-speed road of any kind is a fucking stupid place to put a bike lane, unless there's a substantial barrier between it and the main running lanes

Leftists are braindead, it's a requirement really. They can't meme because they can't joke. And they live in the world of double speak, so irony is lost on them.

Oh I totally agree. Teslas are a rolling pile of glitches. But they ARE cool. And I find their haters equally as annoying as their fans.

I agree with your second point, I disagree with your first point. I just plain don't like them and never have.

A Corvette, 911 etc is cool.
Tesla just telegraphs to the world that you're a nerd.

Oh my God I looked on the publisher website and they really are trying to target this to Mexicans.

Beaners love them some pickup trucks. I see a bunch of spics love driving around in shitty beater trucks with “Michoacán” or “Chih” in Old English lettering on the rear windows.

Not liking a "rolling pile of glitches" being held up as the standard we should be forced to evolve to doesn't make you a "hater" - I'd call myself more of an extreme skeptic in that regard.

 

[Return of the Freaker]

Background: Euclid wanted to keep the poors out so set up harsh, for the time, zoning regulations, and Ambler had a a parcel of land and wanted to build a factory there. So Ambler sues the town of Euclid to allow the factory to be built. Because until that time all zoning cases that SCOTUS ruled in were found to be unconstitutional. Well SCOTUS ruled in favor of Euclid, and the plot laid empty untill WW2 where a factory was built by either GM or Ford.

If only they'd succeeded in keeping the  niggers "poors" out. I was actually born in Euclid so I know where that place is. There's a historical marker out front about the court case. The GM plant went under a couple years after I was born around the time GE, the company that made those giant Euclid mining trucks, and a couple other big industries left. Part of it became and is still an industrial surplus store and part os indoor sports. I actually played on an indoor soccer team in elementary school for a couple years. Not long before I moved, another part became a car rental and they built a Dollar General out front. By the time I was in middle school, the place was full transition from ethnic Whites to ghettofied. Right now they still have Lincoln Electric's world HQ and Amazon where the mall used to be. If anything happend with those, things would get real bixnood imo, like East Cleveland level. Kinda miss the place but glad I left.

Oh, that reminds me! Also a few years before I moved, they tried to do a little "traffic experiment" on a 4 lane + left turn section of Lakeshore Blvd/SR 283 in the downtown area. This was the area in 2022, and was how it was at the time this happened:


I remember because I was driving to go to a bar with some friends, I get here, and theres fucking traffic cones and potted plants blocking it down to two lanes plus limited left turn spots, people weren't sure where the lanes were plus there's curb parking and it was chaos. Plus there were added crosswalks. There was little to no notice this was happening and people were fucking pissed. Pic above is the most recent. Last year, they did a brick and trees median with left turns where needed and added some crosswalks, but kept it 4 lanes. They'd already added shared lanes and painted bike gutters all over.

Ergo Euclid delenda est.

I'm not sure if you meant the case or the city, but yeah fuck it. I think it has a dark future in more ways than one. They're trying to beautify things, do brownfield redevelopment, get a new park in. That's nice and all but I can already see the demographics problems as it were

I was specifically talking about the people that hate Elon Musk for breathing and hate anything he makes.

 

[Yamamura]

The Cybertruck is retarded and deserves to be mocked along with its owners but these people probably don't understand why it's bad or the things it should be mocked for.

My thoughts on it are kinda complicated. I don't really care if someone wants to own one and I probably wouldn't want one personally. However I don't want to find myself sympathetic to it only because it's hated by people I hate.

I view it in the same way I look at the Cadillac Mirage. It's a "truck" for people who aren't into trucks. What niche does this fill exactly? Not sure, but more power to the guy who wants one I suppose. At most the owners of the Cybertruck will use it like an SUV with the back cut off.


But if we're being real for a moment here. They don't actually care about the truck, it's just about Elon. The truck is just a proxy for that.

The issue with any Tesla is that they aren't made by a car company, they are made by a tech company, and they suffer all the issues that products made by tech companies suffer.

This is the root of why I dislike Tesla. The software is in the critical path of the product's intended purpose. If the fuel sender fails on my car, I can still drive even though my gas gauge isn't accurate. It's designed to get me home under a multitude of failure conditions, sparing only those that would destroy the engine.

On the other hand, Tesla will brick your car because an unscheduled OTA update failed, when there was nothing wrong before.

This pattern can be seen in other sectors where tech companies try to diversify. High end LG or Samsung appliances that are crippled by laggy, overheating, severely-outdated touch screens come to mind.

All of that on top of the general build quality issues and totally lackluster, General Motors level, interior work. My favorite Teslaism is actually regarding the Cybertruck, when they released it you could choose to have factory lockers front and rear for a markup, but the code update to allow the truck to lock the front diff didn't release until a few months after the first round of trucks started being delivered and then it could be downloaded. Until you got that software update you had a truck with a locking front diff but couldn't use it.

Frankly I'm surprised they don't charge a subscription service to let you turn the car on, it's shocking they let people buy the things at all rather than forcing it to be a lease.
