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]

It’d be perfect, these urbanite walkable city anti-car fuckers absolutely hate horses too. They go off on rants about how they’re useless animals that just take up space and resources because to them any open pasture not occupied by a high-rise storage unit for crackheads apartment building with a crusty bodega on the ground floor is a hate crime.

You’d think that they’d realize the value of a mode of transportation that’s fueled entirely by plants and can autopilot your drunk ass home from the bar if necessary.

There's also the fact that the only horses really seen in urban areas outside of tourist-style attractions are police horses, and we all know how these types feel about police.

Reddit's non-car transportation enthusiasts are here to remind you that the recent tragedy involving a helicopter hitting an airliner is nothing compared to the horrors that cars inflict upon us every day:

Lol, their whataboutism at play. With airplanes it's weird with them. Some days it seems like they hate them other it seems they like them. I guess it just depends how they're feeling that day and if it suits their current narrative at the time.

I also found it funny that they quickly jumped on this tragedy to say how cars are more dangerous, yet I don't think they did the same when the Jeju Air crash happened. Would insulting a more "pro-train" country like South Korea be in bad taste in their view?

Sean Duffy, Trump's Secretary of Transportation, just sent a memo to the United States Department of Transportation telling staff, amongst other things, that carbon impact will no longer be considered when deciding projects, that the department will prioritize areas with high birth rates over areas with low birth rates, that they will prioritize projects paid for by their users, and that they will not fund local transportation as that is a job for state and local governments.

Areas receiving federal transportation money can not enact vaccine or mask mandates and sanctuary cities are not eligible for transportation funding.

Obviously, the urbanists are mad because all urbanist projects use climate change as a justification, are in areas with low birth rates, are subsidized by non-users, and are local projects useless to interstate transport:





Their narrative is that this is DEI for Trad-Wives:

"They can't build bike lanes on streets where they're needed!" is such cope. I struggle to think of ANY streets that "need" bike lanes or cannot be fixed with MUPs. (They also hate sharrows for some reason). Considering they celebrate more the loss of lanes and/or parking, it really says what areas actually "need" them.

It helps to look at things as a progressive stack. For them it goes Cars > Planes > Busses > Bikes > Trains.

If they are comparing Cars and Planes,
they will always hype up Planes.

If they are comparing Planes and Trains, I'm sorry but Train autism will aways win out.

It's doubly hilarious because birthrates are almost directly correlated with income. The lower income, the more keeeds.

Marriage, not so much.

I agree with this thinking on systems rather than individuals. So, for example, when a judge releases a dangerous criminal on bail and he commits another murder, we should be reforming the system so that can't happen. Right?

Oh, suddenly they don't apply this thinking and what I'm saying is racist and xenophobic, possibly fascist.

Urbanists divided over violent people on bus.

So they made the bus lines *free* and only reduced assaults on bus drivers by a small fraction.

Remember, these are the same people who say you can't widen freeways because of the same diminishing returns issues.

They're also people who believe there was nothing they could do to contain a regional forest fire, but also believe that the fire could have been prevented by globally lowering the temperature of the entire Earth.

that the department will prioritize areas with high birth rates over areas with low birth rates, that they will prioritize projects paid for by their users, and that they will not fund local transportation as that is a job for state and local governments.

The seethe is so funny. In what world doesn't it make sense to prioritize transportation funding for growing areas with lots of kids/families? Of course normal people are now "quiverfull natalists."

Total young urban professional death.

Also funny how they act like the world is ending as soon as their Federal gibs dry up. Considering they're in states probably held in stranglehold by a large urban area (Illinois, Colorado, arguably New York) they can just steamroll state and local government into making more bike lanes or whatever.

That’s the smart move Trump is doing - even if literally nothing changes, at least people will realize just how much funding these damn things need.

If transit can’t survive without billions flowing in each and every year then something has to change.

The states that want it can raise their fuel tax or tax there citizens. The states that don’t can ignore it.

I unfollowed a stormchasing channel, June First, over exactly this. He put out a vid where he ackshually'd that the fire was always going to happen because climate change and the water/forest stuff is misinformation

It's funny the amount of dangerous shit they're willing to do, but still complain about muh pickup trucks.

What’s scary is when you start looking it to bicycle alone or bike/pedestrian crashes. Those things can get moving damn fast and a kid that high up could be in for a world of hurt.

Maybe the children are Tyrone's mutts and this is a way to get rid of them with plausible deniability.

Just to get this off my chest, I hate my state for:

• The car-wrecking bricking of streets when there are far better surfaces to drive on. Brick streets must've been an invention of the Marquis de Sade or an actual demon, as they will pummel your vehicle so badly that you'll likely need a new one just two or three years later. And the maintenance costs in the meantime will eat you out of house and home.
• The rampant installation of speed-bumps on public roads, particularly those that are the same color of the road itself with no meaningful approach warning signs. Some of these bumps are particularly nasty and will annihilate your suspension and other car systems if you accidentally go over one at speed.
• The forcing of "bike lanes" onto roads that have never been horizontally expanded in decades to accommodate such.
• Old, dangerous laws prohibiting bicyclists to ride on sidewalks when they're CLEARLY safer doing that than riding in the road, even those with the aforementioned highly perilous bike lanes.
• Bicyclists who know the above and insist on cycling in the road, even those with ZERO bike lanes, thereby gumming-up vehicular traffic and setting drivers up for liability disaster.
• The rise of infuriating pedestrian crossings at random spots on fairly major streets where said pedestrians have the absolute right-of-way and any injuries or, God forbid, deaths that occur as a result of simply driving thru these crossings at the speed limit becomes the liability of the driver. What the fuck happened to looking both ways before crossing a road? I learned that in elementary school.
• The prevalence of 3-way-stops for traffic calming/control when that's supposedly illegal.

If this NotJustBikes creep is the cause of all this, lemme at 'em.
