it's just the sightlines are all hosed up, not to mention you are crossing the potential vectors of cars like every 50 ft that wont stop until they're halfway through the intersection. If you're going like jogging speed though then im sure it not much of an isssue

ate poo poo on live tv posted:Sharrows are great because they are basically free to install and then you get to have a disingenuous sound-bite about how you installed 400,000miles of bike lanes or whatever. like when you catch your city including 'signed bike routes' in their list of bike infra, and it just means that there's a sign up next to the road saying it's a bike route. cool, thanks, as this driver mashes me into a chunky paste i'll gesture vaguely in the direction of a sign with a little bicycle icon on it it's cooler to think of sharrows as a kind of mystical invocation of a cycling deity, a painted totem propitiating the lord of bikes who may or may not intercede on your behalf.

e-bikers still have a car heart, and will readily come to the assistance of their motorist brethren the second one of them decides to mist the crowd at the bus stop with your blood

lots of modern pedestrian bridges are over engineered and like eight times the size they should be, I don't get it just go back to making them out of rope and planks and replace the cars underneath with crocodiles

E-bikes are very cool because you go so much faster with no extra energy great for olds like my dad. When i rode it i was going so fast I felt so alive!! They should have their own autobahn lane for pro cyclists and ebikes.

IAMKOREA posted:You can still get permanent residency which is almost as good as citizenship (insofar as you don't have to worry about living in the US ever again lol) ah cool, looks like you have to get a temporary residency first, and have that for five years. I'm curious if you get state health insurance right away - I have a cousin who moved to Spain, she's self-employed and lives in Barcelona, and I know she still has to get medical insurance from the US because she's not a permanent citizen, or whatever the right terminology is.

also i hate to break it to some posters itt but hating ebikes on account of them not being 'real bikes' is a sure sign you view bikes as purely leisure, not transport, which is a symptom of terminal car brain
