You guys have bike lanes? 🙃

Top speed on this thing is 25kph (at least in the UK).

You gotta admit this is a damn sight better than gigantic conventional pickup trucks though

Wait really? I thought Amsterdam had that hard rubber cover thing over the tram tracks

That’s a goddamned shame. European tram systems have figured out how to deal with that for years now, I don’t understand why the US refuses to do it

I looked at the tech specs and it’s 924mm wide, which is slightly wider than the average cargo bike or trike. A typical bike lane is anywhere from 2 to 4m wide, which should leave enough space for passing or oncoming bike traffic I think.

Yes it is, and I don’t think anyone’s going to want to walk past multiple rubbish tips backing on to the sidewalks. Also the street just happens to be more or less empty, otherwise there are bound to be cars and bikes and autorickshaws sitting pretty right there

That’s also what you’d see in any Indian city when the road isn’t dug up like that

Yeah that’s nice to think about in theory, but in practice it’d be kicking open Pandora’s box of pandemonium

The news, I guess? He made some very bombastic proclamations that endeared him to leftists and then promptly walked them right back to the middle of the road when the Democratic establishment (including Obama 1.0) got their claws into him

yeah, what could be worse than the guy who authorized 563 drone strikes that killed nearly 4000 people, including American kids. Hmm.

Off the top of my head, he’s very pro-NYPD (which I guess is the easiest way to get the cops to vote for him) and also he straight up said he’d have Zionists in his administration and not worry about what their support for Zionism means in practical terms, so. Yeah.

Me too, but if his recent overtures are any sign of things to come he’s absolutely going to be Obama 2.0

Given a lot of his very recent history…you might want to reconsider.

The traffic-choked bit is the approach to the flyover (the one that was opened in 2005). The uncongested lanes next to it are an extended ramp section of the flyover that was very recently opened, so there aren’t as many vehicles using it yet.

As trials have already proven, all this does is move the congestion from one section of the road to the next.

Public transit and more affordable housing where people work is the actual solution.

… Therefore making bikes an excellent consequential solution to commuting. No one with a lick of sense is recommending that the only change required is that people switch to biking instead of driving.

Not that I’m disputing any of what you’re saying, but how is “No.” uppity?

That is exactly what they’re saying, and it’s horseshit. If they actually had regrets and wanted to make amends they’d take as many of their Nazi buddies with them as possible.

Ah yes. The death of a tiny-faced, vile, white guy is what shows that. Not the thousands of mass shootings, or the Zionists running riot on college campuses, or ICE thugs (and pretend-ICE thugs) running rampant on the streets…it’s the extermination of vermin that did it. Sure.
