But people drive through it every day basically just drooling on their windows driving 3mph gawking because the sidewalks are so narrow that people spill into the street (where there is also car parking on both sides). And if you say maybe we should close it to cars, people are like "Ummmmmmm how do the vendors get their stuff to the stalls then? How will they get their stuff in?" because everything is a binary such as Mommy's face being there or being hidden behind her hands and you're not sure if she will ever come back.

The speed is thrilling and the thought that goes into selecting equipment and setup and addressing complex engineering problems is deep and interesting. I remember posting with you in AI where I pretty much hung out exclusively until I crunk pung many years ago. But here's something neat. Cars are not the only thing that can be raced. That itch you love to scratch tearing around an autocross track can be scratched on mountain bike singletrack or a soapbox derby race or a road bike race or sailboat race and on and on. People race freaking anything. It ain't gotta be cars. And we are willing to compromise. The race cars can be the last ones we throw on the burn pile.

As far as buses go, they work best when they are short-distance connectors to actual transit. BRT is an attempt to do rail on the cheap, but its capacity usually get saturated too easily and it usually has most of the issues of a bus unless it has a right of way. In Moscow, there are plenty of buses but usually they just connect metro stops together. Btw there is a difference between cars and car culture you can have a society where vehicles exist but it isn't the deciding element of every facet of life. Most more advanced states have figured this out. Ardennes has issued a correction as of 12:02 on Aug 13, 2021 |

KidDynamite posted:def need to try some mountain biking. Qft I have been a road and urban cyclist for years and just started mountain biking recently because I thought I was too much of a whimp and I would get hurt or it was too expensive. Turns out that it's a massive amount of fun even if you are a whimp riding a cheap old steel frame lava dome from the 90s and I am kicking myself that it took halfway into my 30s to give it a try.

the beer bike is technically an electric car since the drunks don’t pedal enough to keep it moving.

tokin opposition posted:Thread's gonna get brigaded by AI and more power to them Lol, nah. I enjoy driving, I like wrenching on cars. I don't like having to sit through traffic for two hours a day to get to work/home. I don't like having to rush some expensive repair so I can get to work the next day. I don't like that you either destroy your fun car commuting every day or have something to commute in that is no fun for anything else. I'd happily take public transportation if it was at all a reasonable option for me.  Cars in their current whatever this is loving suck and the worst part is they don't loving have to.

For $400K would you rather have a hyper car or a jet fighter trainer? https://www.controller.com/listing/for-sale/192288915/1985-aero-l-39c-albatros-turbine-military-aircraft The jet has higher carbon footprint but at least it’s not a car.
