And that someone can't be available every day when I need to do two school runs and an office trip.

Listen I think if you have to carry furniture and shed remains to the school and office daily I don't think transportation options is the real problem

Hold on dearly to any leverage you might have over your employer

Because individuals buy and use cars, and the original comment I replied to implored commuters not to use evs and adopt a public transit /bike only lifestyle.

Yeah if you really want to interpret it that way, it's just a slogan man

Why are you so into solving this on an individualist basis, I made it pretty clear I'm talking societal changes here

but for now a shorter commute would be a treat

This is achievable though is my point

I'm thinking societal changes not individualist ones. Think bigger, who the fuck enjoys a long commute?

Yeah the long commute is of course an immuteable fact of life and cannot be changed

OTOH Running with Scissors sucks major ass

Putting a lot of trust in some notion of integrity on noted good organisation, the IOC, here

I'm pretty fucking far as anti-car sentiment goes but to think that a meaningful amount of cyclists killed via cars is people doing it intentionally is insane. You can kill a man dead in a Smart ForTwo easily but let's not pretend the giant driving blind spots and especially the cultural messaging that goes along with HUGE ANGY TRUCK (/ CAR) doesn't help

Braking really isn't that hard in a car and it's not like you lose a meaningful amount of time doing the speed limit for a podunk town. This entire argument can only begin to make sense with a lot of carbrained entitlement

There's also the word "usually" there, and I stick by it. Nice gotcha tho.

Maybe even if it's not a school zone there could be reasons you might want to limit car speeds that have nothing to do with revenue traps is my point

usually for the sole purpose of being a revenue generating speed trap. In fact I just looked it up and this intersection is a school zone with a 20mph speed limit.

You think maybe there's other reasons bar revenue traps at play here then?

Honestly it probably was or maybe is a question of when until the system that produces bike gutters as "infrastructure" figures out that hey, this works just as well for pedestrians as it does for bike.

That amount is basically zilch, but we got the first idea through and it's widely accepted so why not save some money here, too

Bicycles

I'm not proposing nobody knows about bicycles or anything but it's sort of odd how often I come across some type of [scenario perfect for bicycle] post that asks whatever they should do

The people moaning about people from Romania and Bulgaria are neither the ones profiting from their cheap labour here nor are they who calls the shots on the matter

log cabins are just inherently gay. what do you wanna fuck off into the secluded woods for, to get with a bloke?

Can you hand me an example? I keep hearing this but every time somebody presents something, be it work related or not, it feels like at best it would serve as better lorem ipsum

I'm completely convinced that he's using drugs for which we don't even have a names for yet

If you got into the kind of crowd that uses yet-to-be-named drugs you'd end up with some esoteric woo woo bullshit not like orthodox christian

If you're going 15-25mph below the flow of traffic in the middle or fast lane, because of a posted speed limit, that's a problem.

No actually
