Definitely has his grip on reality, this one

TIL that the US before Ford was communist.
Isaiah is not a smart man.
Shit, look at LA.
NYC is so fucking hostile that even if they did implement those things, absolutely no one would use them. Half of it wouldn’t fit in the part of Manhattan that has congestion pricing anyway.
What actually causes congestion is a shit ton of cars trying to kill each other to get 5ft ahead of the next guy while competing with box trucks and ebikes for the only lane that isn’t blocked by a double parked cop car.
Fix and expand the US public transportation system. Building infrastructure for automobiles is fucking backwards.
Cars don’t create congestion, drivers do.
200 XYZ employees are riding a metro line and 150 are in 3 busses, and they all decide to drive one day, OH look there are now up to 350 extra cars on the road today, all going to the same building.
Please tell me how it’s XYZ employees themselves that create congestion and not the extra 350 cars, without saying something along the lines of “if they didn’t all decide to drive that day” or “they should have done something else”
“Guns don’t kill people, people kill people” is a common gun supporter line here. Im doing the same with drivers and cars. The car’s existence isn’t what creates congestion it is your use of it that creates the problem of it. Thus when I make sales calls on clients in rural areas I’ll drive but when going to NYC or any other city I’ll use mass transit.
Is that supposed to be satirical or…?
It’s a jab at “gun don’t kill people” phrase used by the anti-gun control crowd.
Okay good. I was concerned they were serious for a second there.
Like Croquette says it’s a reference to “Guns don’t kill people, people kill people” with the difference being cars and drivers.
I wouldn’t he stuck in traffic if I wasn’t driving.
As a cyclist I’ve noticed a, harshness, recently. In Ontario our premier did a distraction campaign where he villanised bike lanes. Turns out he was talking about a couple of specific ones but all of the sudden, after biking in town for years. People nearly hit me. There is no Lee way any more. I’ve been swiped by mirrors and pickup trucks try to roll coal on me (pretty sure you little dicks need a diesel and your just fucking up your engines for nothing) because I like a bike ride on a sunny day. Or want to stay in shape. Or need to get to work. It really does feel like “get a haircut and drive an f150!!!” around here and that wasn’t always the case.
Strap a visible gun on yourself or a bag. That’ll get you some extra space. Saw an article or post about someone who did that and it’s like magic.
Without a gun, a brick would be a fine stand in
I’m Ontario that isn’t legal.
Why is the American reaction to every single issue “just get a gun”???
As infants, we’re given “bottles” in the .22lr range. By 4th grade, were sucking 9mm straight from the tap. It’s onto .45acp by highschool…
I’m a 2A friendly American and even I say that’s absolutely not a good idea for this scenario. The person you’re replying to is either trolling or needs serious help.
Specifically in this instance, the type of people who roll coal on bikers are also people who automatically respect people with guns.
Canada does not allow open carry, and handguns have heavy restrictions on use and transportation
May I humbly propose an alternative…

In another video, one was demonstrating how easier it was to cross streets with the same accessory.
Not Just Bikes made a video on that. https://youtu.be/KgFCQ7jEZxI
“Please bro one more line on the highway bro please just one more lane”
this line makes me think of ai:
bro just a few more power plants, gimme a nuclear one and some coal fired, please bro, it’ll all be worth it with just a few more gigawatts. It’ll make sense then, just a few more plants broooo
See not congested at all.
There’s quite some room in between the lanes. If they all move in a bit, I bet there’s plenty of room for an extra bike lane on either side.
asdf
let’s end the phrase “I’m stuck in traffic”.
I’m contributing to traffic? I’m doing my part joining the traffic?
So many tempting options highlighting our individual responsibility to the collective problem… yet none of them actually used. Ever. I wonder why. Surely it’s because of “others”!
I like “I’m traffic.” Succinct, to the point.
this Chud is like proven to be wrong by math and science so we could just tell him that facts don’t care about his feelings
Has he seen the roads in so called communist nations? Good luck cycling on those.
Honestly, Cuba and North Korea both have pretty decent (urban) roads. Pyongyang even has some bike lanes, bike parking, and bikesharing infrastructure
I guess it helps when only 1 in 1000 people is allowed to have a car.

Bikes are not usually allowed on the highway, yet the highway experiences congestion. How is that?
Because of the bike lanes in the other streets of course.
I once had the pleasure of cycling the Shimanami Kaido in Japan, a bike route that connects the islands of Honshu and Shikoku, hopping between all these minor islands on the way over suspension bridges carrying the main highway.
The bike lane is protected the whole time. In one case, the bike route is actually below the deck of the bridge, and you’re on a fenced-in catwalk hundreds of feet over the channel between the islands. Views for miles over Osaka bay.
Honestly, when I look back at my life, it’s probably my favorite thing I’ve ever done. If only the U.S. invested in bike infrastructure like that.
Current plan for the new cape cod bridges include a protected bike lane with a great view over the canal!
Too many people complain we could fit an extra lane in that space without thinking. Sure there are huge backups, but those are addressed with the new design not making cars slow down and not having entrance and exit ramps right there. Most importantly, you’re crossing to a two lane highway so there is no benefit to more than two lanes. Allowing continuous flow to the amount that the other side can handle reduces congestion. Anyone you can get on a bike is the one that will reduce congestion. And for all that is holy, let’s run the Cape Flyer often enough to be useful
That’s great to hear! I was actually living in Somerville when I did that Japan trip. The extension of the bike path and really that whole rails-to-trails project were wonderful for the community. We need more projects like that - glad to hear the cape is getting some.
What… next thing you know you’ll ask people to use reason. /s
Carbrain is a disease
This is the same logic that says the only answer to gun violence is more guns
Cars create congestion, so they build more roads, so things are further away, so the can sell more cars (and gas), so they can get more tax revenue, but more cars on the road creates more congestion, so they build more roads …
