I never said bikes did anything necessarily. I said share the road and don't get in ppls shit because they have different needs. Get a grip. But do bikes cause nuisances? Yes. No mode is perfect. Amsterdam, Berkeley Harvard are all trying to head off issues🤷‍♂️ www.smartcitiesdive.com/ex/sustainab...

This is funny because even taken at face value it certainly is NOT an argument for cars, rather making the city public transit only. If all the fietsers in Amsterdam drove cars instead nobody would be going anywhere at all.

I never made an argument for cars. And again you act as though you are the grand poobah of the planet telling people they ONLY need public transportation.Not your call. They say the Nazis had great public transit. Some is good some not so much. How bout you do what works for YOU and let others be.

Once again I don’t even know what the fuck you’re talking about at this point but I also don’t care

I get it, comprehension is tough for one trick ponies.

Pedestrians also cause problems... so what? Single-use cars with street parking cause the most nuisance, compared to which, abandoned bikes are trivial.

10s of thousands cars parked in a city are much much worse. Of course, cars have a place, but in far too many cities everything else is a distant 10th. Whining about abandoned bikes is disengenuous.

Being brainwashed, ableist and not caring about others choices for their well being while swearing you know what's best is well beyond any "disingenuousness" you may think you discovered. And you still haven't ducked a cyclone on a bike. As much as I have ridden them, I haven't either ;)

Ah, the "think of the disabled" gambit. More bikes means less car traffic makes it better for those who need to use cars, such as the disabled.

Disabled persn here from a who can't ride a bike: I don't think it's ableist anymore than suggesting using a car is ableist toward blind people. For evacuation from something like a hurricane, why not have a range of modes, including buses?

I don’t drive a car because of my disability. About 10% of the population is like me. Get out of here with your accessibility virtue signaling.

Have you ever fled a tornado or a hurricane in a car? 42 years in and I haven’t. But I have seen videos of backups of cars of people trying. Seems like an efficient space-saving travel device would help…

"It is exceptionally dangerous and generally not recommended to flee a hurricane on a bike. The combination of hurricane-force winds, flying debris, and flooded or gridlocked roads makes riding a bicycle a major safety hazard rather than a viable evacuation strategy." - The Observer.com

Nobody is seriously saying you should flee a tornado on a bike, dude. Jesus Christ you’re committed to this reply guy schtick.

95% chance that this quote is AI slop.

Yeah, and ever try to pick up half a yard of gravel on a bike? Of course you haven’t. Ridiculous straw-man arguments here.
