Yeah, and mountain bikers don't want highly groomed, paved "trails" to bike on. It's antithetical to what they like about mountain biking and going off road. A multi-use bike or even town bike can often handle dirt and crushed gravel roads fine. It's the "commuters" who just *have* to use racing style bikes for their 9-5 that are the issue.
They want to pave the trail so riders can't use it as frequently (horses trotting on pavement too long is bad for the hooves/uncomfortable/you have to hire the farrier much sooner than usual). Like I've said previously in this thread, on multi use trails bicyclists rarely follow the rules (i.e. always yield to horseback riders)
I like to think, a lot of them FAFO and get kicked in the face by horses.
Despite the fact that a lot of association, organizations (like backcountry horsemen), and riders go out of their way to help create and maintain trails that benefit more than just riders (a lot of saddle clubs help to maintain trails at NO COST to the parks or locales), or in general are for maintaining wild areas, everyone fucking gives us the short end of the stick. They hate us on "their" trails even when multi-use and horse specific trails are pretty much endangered. And not even getting into the fact horse and mule work is how a lot of wilderness is patrolled and trails made/serviced as motorized vehicles can't disrupt them. And you have to go through a lot of work to train and keep your horses trail ready to be safe mounts, not to mention all the money you put into being able to transport them to areas where you can ride. They hate us, do not respect trail etiquette, will let their off leash dogs bark and run up to you, and generally treat you like the problem. It makes me MATI. There are camps set out in wilderness for horses that people will also camp on despite not having horses and people that go there have had to turn around and leave because there is no where else allowed to camp out for trail access, these are usually made and maintained for free for horse people by horse people to use. And the worst are the bike short fags. No one should be playing speed demon on most off road trails anyway, it's dangerous and stupid.Bicyclists generally ride like those arrows are pointing in the opposite direction
I hike and trail ride, and a lot of the trails in my region are shared/mixed use. Cyclists are the only people I ever have issues with. There’s clear signage all over the parks showing what kind of traffic is allowed on each trail, but it’s like the second they see the bike icon they go “All for me! Good luck everybody else!” and get pissy when you don’t stand aside for them to zoom through, even though they’re meant to yield to hikers and horses.
Same.
The most frustrating part is that I’m happy to share the trails with bikes. I try to move my horse off to the side if I can, even if I don’t have to, because his feet can manage more uneven ground better than wheels. I clean up after my animals and do my best to keep them moving on the trails so hikers and bikers don’t have to maneuver around piles of horse shit in the middle of the path. Cyclists are the most selfish motherfuckers and give you absolutely no courtesy back. It’s maddening.
Why does he have to provide an alternative? There is no Constitutional right to no traffic congestion.
The same thing everyone else has to do, make the alternatives better, people don't complain the subway exists, they complain it's too dangerous to use, when we had a much milder concern here the state govt responded by putting the cops that protect politicians(PSO's) at all suburban station at night, with additional roaming patrols on the trains.
From what I've seen the issues are Californians being their usual hypocritical selves and repeatedly suing and dragging the project into court to try and block them buying or building on the land the route is meant to take, if Trump's Admin can fix that more power to them lol
Racism is about (wrongly) thinking that just someone is Mexican, black, or white they're inherently dumb or evil or worse than you. When people talk about Hitler blaming the Jews for everything that was wrong with Germany (and by extension, the world) it hinges on the idea that they actually weren't guilty.

The smugness is off the charts.
A "strong town" is a town without a working sewer system.
It's just like the COVID shots.
Remember, the basis for the "suburbs are financially unfeasible" was based on a budget for Ferguson, Mo. and claimed the opposite of what it said. Marohn lied or didn't understand the debt was for redeveloping something else.
I have a feeling it would be more effective if you actually calmed the traffic. But pulling over black people for speeding is like rayciss n sheeeit so better not do that. In fact just let them wreak havoc over all forms of transport and rather than arresting them, arrest the people who defend themselves from them.
Really? I found a stat from nyc.gov that stated it was only 7.8mph in 2000 indicating it's always been stagnant. I think it doesn't help that their roads have always been severely over capacity and regardless of who has run NYC since the 1980s they have done very little to keep up with automotive demand or providing and maintaining high quality multi-modal connections to alleviate that demand. Ideally a lot of this could be solved if they actually invested in an expressway like Robert Moses wanted, at least having 1 that goes thru Manhattan to Brooklyn from NJ would alleviate a lot of unnecessary trips on low-capacity city streets.
