The real problem is the more gadgets and extensions you ad to a motorbike to make it more car-like? The closer you get to that price point where people reason "I'm already 2/3rds of the way to a car, but only getting 1/4th or so the utility of a car. I'll just save some more and get an actual car"
The circlejerking here is absolutely insane. She IS slowing everyone down otherwise she would get run over.
Bruv try some squats or something.
The final design of that street is the same as the one showcased a few pages ago where the NYC cyclist hit the kid running home from the school bus. It’s incredibly unsafe because cyclists are not looking for pedestrians crossing their “bike highway”.
An interesting tidbit I took from this is in the numbers. Early in the video a daily cyclist count of 3,500 through this bike lane is noted. At the very end of the video Rob throws up a bunch of different statistics from the middle bike lane experiment, one of which stood out to me:
Even Rob ran a red light in the video, though he did so just as the light was changing:
Well it's not any less safe but the design encourages someone to ride without wearing the gear someone would typically have a on a motorcycle like a helmet, jacket, and boots.
They make Elon sound so based when he's just a bumbling retard grifter. I almost want to buy a Tesla just to spite them, and I hate Teslas.
This term still gives me the ick, it's got the same leftoid newspeak feeling as "birthing person" and "front hole".
Poz hole?
It sort of reminds me of how some creatures die out evolutionary or are forced to change because they just aren't as effective or efficient compared to another creature. Like why wolves are encouraged to become giant in cold climates. There are more upsides to being big than small in that environment.
look at 1920s and 30s luxury cars, they look like modern full size suvs.
It's not just the wording of "X is good, actually", it's always the fact that whatever they're shilling is something a) usually recognized as negative by anyone with a working brain and b) is never presented as an opinion.
There's a lot of large cars that were rolled out over the years, even a cursory glance at old newspapers and other publications show many SUV-like cars. The "nothing like SUVs until the 1970s or 1980s" that NJB et. al. have pushed is either a willful lie or complete ignorance at the history of automobile design in the last 100 years.
