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]

I don't get why they aren't being more cautious about fedposting and need the Reddit admins to keep them in line

It goes along with what they believe is right. They have a twisted view on history, on statistics, on politics, on the role of the automobile...you're going to tell me that they're not also going to think they are 100% justified in demanding you dead?

I think they forgot those car exist

The Cozy Coupe has been brought up a few times in this thread. Use the search function.

In other news, a few days ago, a national campaign in the Netherlands implores cyclists to use a helmet. (Original NY Times article / archive).

Of course they had to quote an "urban planning professor" who uses terms like "road violence". (It's not Jason, it would be funnier if it was).

Several large automotive YouTubers (all of whom are millionaires) are cucks who think that urbanists will still let rich people like them drive cars:

Matt Farah is a trust fund kid, Doug DeMuro sold a car-auction website for tens of millions, and James May is Br*tish (and obviously made millions from Top Gear and The Grand Tour).

All of them live in single family homes and drive cars every day. They want YOU to not drive so that they can drive down uncongested roads in Los Angeles, San Diego, and London, respectively.

Matt Farah flat out says that in the article:

Farah agrees. “American policies have been subsidizing car owners at the expense of non-car owners for a long time” he told me. “If I have to give up something in order to balance that scale, that’s OK. The ultimate result might be less congestion, which makes my driving experience better. I don’t collect sports cars to hurl them into 405 traffic.”

Disappointing to hear James May is a faggot. Clarkson was always the best of the Top Gear crew

He's also a chronic TDS sufferer so it's not surprising. Most of his leaning on this probably has to do with Trump's input on the matter.

Most of these guys would probably have been leaning the other way if they were poor while being into cars. I would imagine if there was a younger version of themselves being priced out of having even one car while making minimum wage they'd be singing a different tune. They climbed up the ladder and pulled it up behind them.

I like cars, I hate car "journalists".

James May was always the soft-headed LIBRUL on the Top Gear crew and the chemistry between him and Hammond and Clarkson is what made the series so great.

Nobody should listen to the idle rich about what everyday people need for transportation, and someone that 'collects' cars worth more than the average house value is definitely idle rich.

Funny enough that's very similar to the reason why The Stig wasn't allowed to speak on Top Gear. Clarkson felt that race car drivers' opinions on car were worthless since they had a very different perspective on them than the regular folks.

James May only likes bikes because you allowed to drive those drunk...

 

[vanessa683525]

Maybe because no bicycles is an actual thing (trails meant for horses/pedestrians, certain roadways, etc.) while no cars is just a meme by subhumans without understanding reality

It is a sign in every country that follows the Vienna convention, in the US it's NO MOTOR VEHICLES (R5-3) https://mutcd.fhwa.dot.gov/htm/2009/part2/part2b.htm#section2B39

There are several upvoted comments mocking the pro-car council member's Brooklyn accent:


In case anyone wanted anymore proof that the anti-car people in NYC are not native New Yorkers and are wealthy transplants.

Very progressive of them making fun of someone's accent. And apparently we're the ones who are supposedly the assholes according to them lol.

 

[Sleazy Car Salesman]

In all fairness any form of NYC accent sounds like a dumpster. Really any Northeastern accent tbh.

There's a deep part of me believing in some part that the Fedposting is some Glownigger op that's trying to crash this community no survivors, but at the same time they're just that crazy more likely as well.

I'm surprised he's that coherent. He's clearly reading off a script (or notes) that he may or may not have written, but these morons will often hurl insults the minute they receive a moment of pushback.

When does the rest of society stop being cowed by accusations of not caring about safety and lives and start calling these people hysterical and unreasonable? And this goes for every lefty-left issue. Some of them must know damn well that you can't prevent all tragedies, but as long as you mention literal lives, you'll get what you want because nobody wants to be pro death now do they? Such a childish move.
And just look at these people. What a bunch of losers. Who would want to be a part of this group?

They always omit key facts as well, like:

Naadhun was crossing Newtown Road in the early evening on Feb. 17 with her mother, when a driver rolled through a stop sign, hitting the girl. Naadhun was taken to Elmhurst Hospital, where she was later pronounced dead.

The 46-year-old woman driving the car was not licensed and was operating the vehicle with a learner’s permit and without a licensed adult inside the car, according to the Department of Transportation.

So an unlicensed driver blows through a stop sign, but the issue is parking... Not to mention what mother lets their kid run out onto a crossing without looking? I don't think I have ever seen a parent not stop, and make their young kid stop, before crossing a road even at a crossing... Maybe if they weren't fuckwits who keep screaming ACAB they could get the cops to do a crackdown on dangerous and shitty drivers or something.

I really fucking hate how they never want to contribute to their fixes, if they desperately want to remove parking spaces for 'daylighting' (which articles point out the issue is that crossing was changed to a Zebra crossing to allow cars to park there despite it being illegal before) how about they offer to fundraise to purchase property in the area to make some more off-street parking?

Their fellow alcoholics and the spergs who can’t drive because they refuse to grow up and not play their Nintendo switches every free hour of the day that they have.

Neckbeards who talk tough online but get scared when confronted, Peter Pan syndrome, social freaks like troons and their ilk. I don't think many people are scared of them outside of politicians in their cities (if they even are), they will smile and nod but laugh behind their backs.

 

[quaawaa]

In the comments they say that people should park in garages:

but I’ve also sent them complaining when the outer borough council members only approve a new apartment building after the developer agrees to build a garage because it “raises the cost of housing” despite them never requiring enough spots for every resident to have one. They're extreme NIMBYs whenever someone proposes building any form of car infrastructure.

Also, NYC has a net negative domestic migration rate. Their population growth is entirely due to foreign immigration, yet you’ll never hear an urbanist argue that we need to close the border to keep housing affordable.

The second one of them gets close to thinking outside of the box, no matter how obvious it is that foreigners shouldn't be buying up houses and too many migrants are bad, one of their fellow cultists shrieks them down.

Because socialist-prog - leftists are not motivated by bettering all, but, by making sure those who they judge as insufficiently evolved pay for holding back Utopia.

If you offered the kind of person who inhabits r/fuckcars with the ability to either uplift 3,000 poor people to the middle-class, or, cause 3 people they don't like to die of a horrible prion disease? They'd pick killing the 3 enemies every time. Their primary motivation in life is that those who are not like them need to be made to SUFFER for their "failure" to live up.
