Many people would agree that it's absurd that children in the USA wear bulletproof vests to school, and are trained how to behave in an event of a shooting. The same people see nothing absurd in their own children wearing safety vests to school, and being trained how not to murdered by oversized trash cans on wheels.
driving with one headlight and FTY at a crosswalk but tell me about how pedestrians are looking at their phone #DriverAccountability #FuckCars #ODOTGTFOpdx #BarburBlvd

America will do anything to make it so you can park your car even on the rooftop.
Boundless energy to make things about cars.
A few months ago I wrote a few very short stories. This is one for the other #FuckCars folks in #Europe, who may or may not recognize the risk of continuing to model European cities on the American model. I've been excited to see some pulling back from that, and I hope to see a *lot* more distance between North American cities now and European cities of the future.

Lol
SUVs and the newer generations of pickups here in the UK infuriate me so much. When they inevitably can't find parking space, they'll park on the pavement, blocking access for everyone.
That extra width makes them overtaking cyclists dangerous too.
And they're always clean. "Oh but I need it for work." Says the man who's never driven it through mud, country lane or building site.

A third of Americans don't drive. So why is our transportation so car-centric?

the nation’s residents don’t have driver’s licenses. In her 2024 book “When

infrastructure harmful to the climate, it also fails to meet the everyday needs

Almost 6 minutes to cross one intersection, near a school. I told my local representatives about this. They don't give a fuck. They drive cars. Almost everybody here drives cars and will drive cars, because the other options suck. It starts with land zoning, not building footpaths, car parking minimums, and ends with traffic light programming and a motorway through koala habitat.
I got stopped and asked some questions about my ebike on the way to the library today:
- How far does it go?
- How much did it cost?
- How long does it take to charge?
- How far have you ridden on it?
This was really encouraging to hear from normal people on the street. I tried my best to contrast the cost of owning an ebike to the cost of owning a car and how much cheaper this is for me.
I mentioned that it's allowed our household to go down to a single car and we've saved a lot of money as a result, and I mentioned that I had biked from all the way across town. Mostly, I was implying that my bike gives me a level of freedom I didn't previously experience with a car.
I think it worked. One of people said they were going to look into buying one.

They're about to block cars from more than 500 new streets in Paris. Fuck yeah.
