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

[Chris Konon]

We get frequent reminders to avoid those apex predators

And not to mention, even guarded railway crossings can be unsafe due to drunken guards:

Spoiler: translation

Police in the Świętokrzyskie region detained a 56-year-old woman on Thursday for driving with a blood alcohol level of 1.5‰. She was on her way to work as a railway crossing guard in the Końskie district. The incident occurred in Kamienna Wola, Gowarczów municipality, where a breathalyzer test confirmed her intoxication. Operating a vehicle under the influence in Poland can result in up to three years in prison, fines, and a driving ban.

I don’t wanna shit up this thread with train eating truck videos but God I spent a Hot year a couple years ago watching that shit. It is fucking amazing.

We need a Project - install cameras on all railroad crossings and require cameras on all trucks so we get more video footage of this shit because aaaaaaaaugh it’s soooo good.

Apparently people using free public transport in a city centre to the point of overcrowding is bad because people who have cars but aren't using them benefit?
Ignoring the fact the State subsidizes PT massively and Trams pretty much only exist in the inner suburbs, so only something like a 3rd of the city live anywhere near one, it must be those dastardly car brained motorists fault that the Trams are crowded in the congested city centre.

Guess since they are such fans of induced demand they should remove trams to relieve overcrowding...

Apparently also increasing reliability of train services by grade separating them from cars(and also replacing worn out rail infrastructure at the same time) 'just helps motorists', I guess all those faulty signals, trespassers, and cars getting beaned by trains, forcing bus replacement in peak hour, that plague train commuting, being reduced/eliminated by grade separation was only to help motorists, in which case I guess they owe motorists a fucking debt for making their train services better lol

Tbh if they were any lower IQ it would be legal to harvest their organs to donate xD

This is where we see that the urbanist are not pro urban and pro public transit. They are literally just anti-car. A perfectly working public transit system that did everything they dreamed of would need to be dismantled and taken apart because everybody using public transit would mean the few people left to drive their cars and pick up trucks would have a nice empty road to drive on.

They're anti-civilization, even if most of them lack the brainpower to put it into words.

Even if all cars and trucks were banned and roads converted to bike paths, and civilization would somehow adapt (poorly), they'd start bitching that bikes are actually super bad for the environment and they keep tempting poor negroes to steal them so we must replace every road with a canal and everyone needs to kayak everywhere. Need to move something heavy? Just rent a cargo kayak dude

Bikes use rubber wheels, and we all know how totes problematic rubber production and harvesting is. It has its roots in colonialism and white supremacy. Your lifestyle should not be rooted in white supremacy and colonialism, you hear me? Just walk, bro.

Shoes have rubber soles you fucking chud, better not be caught wearing them.

This brainworm of declaring non-car infrastructure as somehow being car infrastructure is probably the urbanfags' most retarded and laughable argument. They did it with protected bike lanes, pedestrian bridges, sidewalks and now even trams apparently

The irony is that "public transit is so good there will be less people on the road making the roads better too" was supposed to be a pro-urbanist point that was also pro-driving (see Jason Slaughter declaring the Netherlands "The Best Country in the World for Drivers"). Guess they realized that they were supposed to be anti-driving after all so by their twisted logic, no public transit improvements for you.

Believe it or not, one of them actually went there without the slightest sense of irony:

"I guess you guys aren't ready for that yet. But your kids are gonna love it":

In their soyberpunk future, the concept of private transport--even bikes--will be illegal unecessary, as by then the globohomo will have achieved Real CommunismTM

In other news, an r/urbanism user bitches about not being able to ride xer bike through a Chick-Fil-A drive-thru and sends a few members of the commentariat into a frothing rage against the one thing urban bugman hate more than cars: Christianity (link|archive)



You can tell this fag really thinks hate chicken is clever.

Why don't you just park your bike and gym of life inside?

Oh, you live in a shithole. Choosing a vehicle that mitigates theft would be car brained though.

I think the retardation of this comment speaks for itself:


The real answer is the drive-thru system isn't designed for your sidewalk toy, and everyone has to bear the inconvenience when you cause it to malfunction:

They share roads with normal vehicles - it’s just that Australia is so fucking huge and empty that you can go thousands of miles without seeing anyone.

And people just transporting themselves often just fly a small plane.

Shit is absolutely insane and we don’t even know - America has nothing like it.

Yeah I don't know why I used to think Australia had a bigger population than it actually does but statistically it's emptier than Canada.

Also it's for employee safety, the drive through window is meant to exchange food and currency/currency equivalent at arms' length, anyone on foot/bicycle can negate that, and is most likely trying to rob the place. Given how cyclists adopt the "violence is justified whenever I am inconvenienced" that makes it even more justified.

Despite its heavy push toward drive-through/curbside delivery, Chick-fil-A is still open to ordering at the counter, and the reality is that even the "drive-through only" restaurants (Sonic, Dutch Bros, etc.) all have walk-up windows, so there's no leg to stand on. The only exception is ordering after dark, and in that case, it's not recommended to be on a bicycle after dark and using a bicycle in a drive-through lane after dark screams "I am an unhinged lunatic and/or going to point a gun in your face".

That's a good point. Come to think of it, I think a drive-thru I used to work at in my wagie days got robbed exactly that way.

Another angle I've heard is insurance/liability. Allegedly, property insurance won't cover damages when some militant soyclist gets crushed while flexing his right of way against other customers because bikes shouldn't be in the drive-thru in the first place.

They remind me of feminist game journos. They hate cars but demand to be included and accommodated in car-only spaces anyway. Separate bike paths and walk-up windows aren't enough; it doesn't count unless they get to LARP as legitimate traffic within a system that they believe is illegitimate. Not to sound like an armchair psychologist but their pathological stubbornness reminds me of oppositional defiant disorder.

That bow-legged troon should be happy that dude didn't change their pronouns to "was" and "were".

What do you call those events where dozens of cyclists block traffic and drive in the street?

I read that some group in Portland is doing that but for kids on bikes lmao. Teach your kids to make pancakes of themselves to own the gas guzzlers.

Not even that- they want to be included in the benefits, without having to adhere to actual laws governing the roadways.

I've put some thought into the hypothetical, if that did happen it would look similar to Vietnam most likely. All the problems driving in a dense environment would be transferred onto biking.
