  • I don't think they should necessarily be speed restricted, nor is that the law where I live - the only rule is that you can't exceed the speed limit on adjacent roads (which practically makes them unbounded for almost all cases for cyclists under their own power).

    By making them wide enough for emergency vehicles, they can accommodate both slower and faster moving cyclists, with mobility vehicles moving at similar speeds to slower cyclists and hence automatically being accommodated. I don't think pedestrians should be co-located with cyclists and mobility vehicles, as these actors have different incompatible needs.

  • My friend, there are already slow cyclists in the bike lane. They will remain there, because they have the right to it by definition. Adding other kinds of small mobility vehicles with similar speeds is not materially going to impact us faster cyclists, as long as the bike lane is of sufficient width for us to safely pass them. This is coming from another 90 kg/>30 km/h rider who often has to use the main road for practical reasons.

    In fact, I tend to use the main road over available bike lanes specifically when the width of the bike lane is insufficient for passing slower cyclists in a safe manner. The other reason I skip the bike lane is when it is designed in an unsafe manner, such as ending abruptly and forcing conflicts with pedestrians, or when it crosses turning lanes in a manner where drivers cross the lane without looking.

  • Elon starting to comment on technical matters was the moment I learned he was actually completely beyond incompetent, since I have some actual expertise on the subject. Right around the time he bought Twitter and commented publicly on its architecture.

    This is further evidence to that point

  • Android Studio or VSCode usually.

    But really, there's no single best option here - use whatever works the best with you and the tech you're targeting. The same advice applies for programming languages, libraries and just about everything in tech
