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

[Xarpho's Return]

What is this constant obsession with being able to use the toilet while moving? Not even piss fetishists are fixated on this.

I don't understand why they can't just pull over or get off of transit to use the bathroom. It's not like you can take a piss while riding a bike either.

Also planes have toilets too but I never see car-hating retards cheering for that form of transit.

I've never had to use the bathroom on my morning commute, you'd either have be sick or have some chronic medical condition (too many dicks up the anus?) in such a short time. For longer commutes, the train toilets are also never cleaned until at least the train's done, either.

If you're driving on Interstates, meanwhile, there is never a shortage of restaurants or gas stations to relieve yourself. This might be why the seethe so much over Buc-ee's, it's better in every way than what trains have to offer.

They were already on a sidewalk, no? Im assuming those white stripes on the bike lane are some kinda crosswalk between the strip of sidewalk between the parked cars and the lane (likely put there to safely get to/from your parked car) and the big sidewalk. So no real need to rush other than normal kid impulsiveness.

It's a bidirectional bike lane:


Ironically, the street was safer before the "Safe Streets" renovation:

Spoiler: After

(This street view appears to be out-of-date and is missing the green paint, cross walk, and second bike lane visible in the video)

Before, the bike lane was unidirectional, traveling in the same direction as the car lane, and the parking lane was the lane closest to the curb.

This was most likely changed, not because of safety, because the cyclists were pissed that they had to go a block over to go the other direction and because people used the bike as a loading lane, forcing them to change lanes (both of which are completely unacceptable to cyclists).

If the street had its old layout, the school bus would have pulled over into the bike lane and the kid would have never been in any danger of being hit by a vehicle ignoring the bus's stop signs.

On an unrelated note, NYC is disgusting:

Well damn, thats bad design. Why do they have different looks? Also does this mean the dude from the clip was biking on the left lane in a right driving country?

Fucking ironic they changed it when wakanda for urbanists quite literally looks like this:


Which is pretty much the exact same as the old new york road just the opposite driving direction and 1 less car lane.



Also if thats not a crosswalk, do these new york bike lanes then not have crosswalks??? Because all lanes regardless of vehicle should. European ones have:



Its also shit design to have a whole row of parked cars between two lanes where one should be paying attention to the other. With the old design paying attention to a school bus is way easier because you're right behind it rather than half seeing it behind a wall of parked cars. You either put extra sidewalk in between or have the cycling lane directly attached to the rest of the road. One of the worlds top cities and this is the infrastructure they design?
In bicycle countries its completely normal partially share certain types of bike lanes with cars and to wait behind cars that make a quick stop to drop someone off if you cant go around it.

Which has more piles of rubbish per square mile, NYC or India?

Despite nearly all car-bike accidents occurring at intersections, cycling activists believe that a physical barrier (like parked cars or concrete medians) on the straightaways is necessary to keep cyclists safe.

There are crosswalks at each end of the block.

 

[SpiderBitch]

Ok as far as i can find ny crossroads for bike lanes look like this:



And it looks the same behind the trash...


...but only on 1 of the 2 lanes?? Why?

They're very similar in a lot of ways but I'll still have to give the nod to New York.
- Less street shitting
- Knows not to swim in or drink from rivers where sewage gets dumped into
- Better food

Road Guy Rob directly responds to Jason Slaughter's video whining about firetrucks.

(Preservetube)

I bet Jason will be seething despite RGR agreeing a lot with the idea of traffic calming measures.

Looks like Jason's fans dogpiled him too much:

Sucks to see him cave like that. Did anyone have the original clip? Or at least a transcript? Interested in what he had to say.

Because NYCDOT is incompetent.

I was the one to archive it on PreserveTube once I saw the reference to Jason. Just in case. Especially since urbanists heavily lean towards censorship.

RGR can do whatever he wants but this seems like a double standard. Jason Slaughter and every car-hating retard on Reddit can shit on Rob all day long for being a "car apologist", yet if Rob decides to put in a 20-second segment lampooning Jason's bullshit it's "needlessly poking fun" at him. Come the fuck on.

Rob is too nice to fags on the Internet who constantly mock and make fun of him for being a wrongthinker.

Edit: His response proves my point.

Jason's video is very negative (not to mention full of cherrypicking if not outright factual inaccuracies and several flawed assumptions). Countering said video with your own positive message isn't "going negative." He probably just doesn't want to deal with the hate.

>child at fault
Are you an antinatalist by any chance?

No, not at all. I'm actually working with elementary age kids in after school clubs and a part of my job is keeping them safe. Great deal of that is making them think before they do stupid shit like this and when do do stupid shit like this go over what they did wrong so they don't do it again. If I don't we can't do much, witch defeats the point of me being there to teach them fun skills like cooking and woodworking.

I don't assume that kids know as much as adults but I do hold them to the same safety standards. We go over potential safety hazards, what to do if something happens and how I'm expecting them to behave. We start with easy and safe projects and I modify the program depending on how they behave. That's how we can eventually do things that could potentially result in lost limbs or grease fire and I haven't had a serious accident. Just small cuts, bruises and minor burns.

What is this constant obsession with being able to use the toilet while moving? Not even piss fetishists are fixated on this.

Trying to come up with something that public transportation can do and what private transportation can't do because even they realize that cars are majority of the time faster, more comfortable and practical. They might not want to admit it but in back of their mind they do know it so have to come up with wierdly specific selling points.

Everyone has suddenly needed to go and no toilet in sight? Remember how awful you felt? What if I said you could travel with a toilet so it will never happen? What do you mean you can hold till the next gas station or if it gets really bad go behaind a bush? Don't you care about... hygine or something? Idiots...

Also, ive seen buses with toilets drop their saved up pee in the middle of roads before.
Rural ones, but still. With trains it used to get dumped on the tracks despite trains sometimes directly going trough neighbourhoods with houses only a 10 second walk away from them. Rude asf and probably bad for the heccin environment.

Meanwhile I assume gas station toilets are attached to, yknow, a sewer system.

Airplanes are the worse when it comes to this, they dump it mid air like it is a literal shitstorm

They are actually hooked up to the pumps. Big Oil doesn't want you to know this but gas is a myth and cars are actually powered by piss and shit. It's why your car's gastank has an inviting hole about waist high.

How is the post "incoherent"? I read it just fine. I'd actually argue that if you can't decipher or infer what someone is saying because of basic typing errors that says a lot more about your intelligence than it does theirs. Hyper fixating on syntax isn't an argument retard.

This isn't super relevant to this thread but it is a little bit and I've gotta vent because I'm still mad.

A few years ago a change to traffic law passed in my country, it says that if you're driving and overtaking road lice, you have to pass at least 1.5m away from them. It's seriously dumb because it's not like you have an extensible 1.5m long ruler on your car's passenger door, it's like setting speed limits in a world where speedometers don't exist, there's no way for you, the cyclist you're passing, or a potential cop watching you actually measuring the distance, so the best you can do is just go fully into the oncoming lane.

Anyway, yesterday I was driving home and I came up to a cycloid on a narrow winding road. Normally I'd just pass him by less than the mandated 1.5m, except there was a cop car behind me. I spent at least 20 minutes doing about 25 in a 90 zone because I didn't want to get a ticket. Eventually even the popo got sick of it and passed both me and the biker. Jesus fuck, I know how the main character in Falling Down felt at the start of the movie, I nearly started chewing on the steering wheel.

I think I have the same law in my country, but few respect it, including me and my father. I consider this law as only useful to give some space to the cyclist, but 1.5m is not needed every-time.

When I cycle on the road, I always try to be outside of the road, on the edge, because I don't want to leave with the fear someone will be close to me and also to not cause disturbance. Hell, sometimes I stop when I see a truck coming in my back or I go on a national/european road where cars have high speed.

I hate that cyclists have this special needs attitude, like they are privileged. Like you don't even care for your safety
Myself I am both a driver and a cyclist (though at countryside), and I believe you should be considerate of the others.

Also: Will that shitty NY law will be rejected? And that Nevada vision zero traffic calming nonsense? Fortunately, I only have speed bumps on road only, no more bullshit.

The bawling like a small child is what got me for this one.

That's the sound of a man who has broken multiple bones and suffered a fairly severe head injury.

 

[Autistic Gunspergings]

You know I guess I can't say I'm surprised he buckled this hard under even modest pressure, he always seemed like one of those people who have a YouTube channel as a hobby but are otherwise are mostly divorced from the internet and live a life outside of it. Not sure if I can say the same thing about NJB.
Its a real shame to see but I guess I can't be that hard on him.

They also bring up train food too. For the price of whatever warmed-over slop you're getting on a train (or worse, Jason bought an overpriced convenience store-style wrap and pretended like it was the best thing ever) you could stop in at a decent pizza place off the highway and get a hot, fresh pizza delivered right to your table. When you're on the road, you're not limited to fast food, and even within half a mile of any major highway is just about any cuisine and price point you can imagine.

My county does too. I live near a big city and I've biked here before. I try to give them a wide berth. But the bumber of times I've had cyclists jump out into an intersection on a red light for them is asinine. They want to have the same rights as motorists, but they also think they're exempt from traffic laws due to being cyclists. I've seen people get hit doing this and try to claim the motorist was at fault (thankfully the drivers had dashcams). It's crazy, especially when they got bike lanes after bitching for YEARS. Nobody uses them.

The other african elephant in the room is of course niggers. You want to know why nobody wants to use public transit in places like NYC? Cuz a Weedquavious will push you in front of the train or a Juan will set you on fire if you nod off. I visited Manhattan a couple months ago, only a week or 2 before that homeless beaner stabbed 3 people in broad daylight (not the subway, but same idea. If you're in a car, you have a bubble of safety and a faster means of escape). Alvin Bragg trying to prosecute Daniel Penny for that chimp Jordan Neely overdosing after being put into a headlock (anyone who's had brothers they fought with should know that a headlock is NOT the same as a chokehold) because he was chimping out and growling at children like a pit bull will scare more away, even though his attempt rightfully failed.

If you are at all serious about improving public transit, you have to crack down on niggatry and crack down on it HARD. I mean beat turnstile jumpers with billy clubs, kick out any panhandlers, and severely punish anyone who threatens or attacks people. I say public beatings are a good low cost way to keep niglets in line, arguably more effective than jail. Go to MLK street and set up a pillory. Every time Pookie, Ray Ray, or any of them other niggas act a fool, drag them there in chains, put on a show (offer free food to get people there if you have to) and give the dumb nigger the ass whooping of a lifetime. Really make him cry and beg for mercy, it needs to be as humiliating and emasculating as possible. And the rest of the hood needs to see them acting like a little bitch so that any shred of street cred is ground to dust. And make it clear that the same fate will befall anyone else who acts like a porch monkey. I guarantee crime rates will plummet and as societal trust is regained, more people will feel comfortable taking the bus or the subway.

And yes, I know this has no chance of happening in current day because us westoids consider it muh cruel and unusual punishment. Even though it's cruel to the rest of society to NOT do this. But I maintain that nothing will improve unless this is done and these soy soaked urbanist faggots are nothing but hot air given that they refuse to address the real problem.
