their infrastructure needs fall under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Transportation, which has been slow to act.

Same issue everywhere.

The local authorities could create/extend a network of forest paths for pedestrians tho

Nope, car drivers are the same everywhere, “don’t touch my car cause it is an extension of my dick”.

If they don’t pull a gun, they would try to hit you.

If you dress like a cop there would maybe have more thinking

The topic here is public transportation, but look at how many behave on the roads with their personnal cars, ready to cause accidents just to not be slowed

I did not watch the video but suburbs accessibility is a global issue that needs real politic implication (I mean money) to be solved.

Here, 15km from a medium euro city, an express and affordable bus line arrived only last year thanks to a global metropolitan project. Before that there was only an overpriced line that was pretty far from many districts, it was faster and more convenient to go by bike, that’s how I realised 15km is 20 min by car (without congestion), 40 by bike, 3h by feet, and random by bus.

If it works like the washing machine in Gattaca, there is a neat risk that it doesn’t end well.

I recommand to watch this -now old- movie by the way

It is not new but we need permanent reminders to not buy these stuff.

An other reason to avoid buying stuff from them is that 80% of their products are illegal or out of EU regulation, like toxic components in kids toys, from a recent survey from french customs, after someone reported pedo sex dolls on shein online store.

Sweet sweet oil smell, just like bullshit they spit to invade Irak.

In France we’re having an official public consultation on how to prepare to 4°C in Y 2100 (with steps of 2° in 2030, 2.7° in 2050).

I guess we re cooked

We do that few times a year but bike is designed for these distances

In rural protected areas : outdoor activities like hiking biking climbing picking edible stuffs in the forests.

In small cities : not much.

In rural crops area : dying from pesticides at 50.

uuuh in winter we have things like cloths, even warmed gloves and boots when really cold ? Go in Montreal to figure it out, some are biking there even in winter.

I am pulling stats out of my close area, national stats are : For distances of less than 5 kilometers, cars still account for 60% of commutes. Less than 5 km can you imagine ?

Just put your ass on a bike instead of your fingers, and just try to do things

Yes it is.

Because it is handcraft compared to car industry (85 millions/year), and not subsidized at all.

Now how much costs a car ? Not only the price, but globally, if you include health impact, infrastructure needs.

I don’t think it is laughable.

A new cargo is 5000€ and you can find used or discounted ones for less than 3000€.

A used car will cost far more in repairs, insurance and gas, my 2010 car is valued around 3000€ and it costs us around 1000-1500€/year.

I don’t think bikes can replace cars for everyone, but many people could use a bike instead or their car 95% of the time, when we see that so much people use a car for less than 5 km.

Only concern is safety to use a bike in the middle of fast cars, but a proper infrastructure (separated bike lanes) solves it for a fraction of the cost of roads and parking places.

Goat simulator still exists?

My nephews loved it

A friend worked at amazon for a short time, they sent small stuff like 1 chips package.

I guess some people are very lazy.

Or don’t want to take the car after drinking/smoking, which is a good thing.

Plus they could use the bike lane as personnal parking and unload their deliveries

/s just in case

Model Y are made in germany, I guess that’s why they are popular in europe, now some countries give subsidies only if EV is made in europe

Reality is that we don’t have much oil here in Europe it makes no sense to use a ressource we don’t have

So, this is a new coup?
