I keep watching Not Just Bikes and it just makes me so loving angry that we could have nice things and we just loving don't. Everyone involved in the Seattle Waterfront reconstruction should be thrown in loving prison. That goes double for the "Democratic" governor who supported it before she left office, then just last year endorsed a literal loving Trump-supporting-election-questioning-CHUD for city attorney of Seattle.

In Philly there are occasional giant mobs of ATVs and dirt bikes and such that swarm into the street grid and paralyze everything and seem to have a pretty fun time. They get bigger every year. What are people's opinions on those??

What are people's opinions on those?? as a Buffalo resident: they're loud so that's annoying but it's a better single person transport than 1 guy driving a RAM 3500 so overall I'm pretty neutral. Also the cops seem to hate them so that's another point in the pro column

What are people's opinions on those?? being occasionally slightly annoying is way less of a crime than basically anything drivers routinely do, so imo we can figure out what to do about dirt bike mobs once we've won the war on cars for all the talk of how dangerous atvs are, it's cars racking up all the kills

Fine as long as they stay on the streets and yield to people and aren't loud as poo poo (I kind of doubt they're considerate about these things). People take their ATVs onto our greenway paths and that sucks.

This is probably petty of me, but this morning the sidewalk was blocked off at multiple points because a road crew put all their "road work ahead" signs on it to notify drivers that a lane was closed. It's a four lane street, so it's barely an interruption for drivers. The signs took up the entire sidewalk though, so I shoved them down the hill.

I don't think you've been able to buy them new for a few years but there's still plenty around. a two stroke is lubricated by oil mixed in with the fuel so they're constantly burning oil and the emissions are loving nuts.   this one's definitely porn  look at the blue haze

I have been radicalized for at least 10 years but all those great videos have really renewed by car-hate fire. we can just not build poo poo cities but... we dont??? I cannot stand it. the council here sometimes thinks about changing things for the better and sends out cute little surveys that take 2 years to be processed before they consider doing anything and when they finally commit to a new protected bike lane it doesn't go anywhere useful, is insanely compromised to protect existing on-street parking and takes 5 years to build. meanwhile the roads department side of the council has constructed hundreds of kilometers of new roads and car infrastructure without a single loving survey or community consultation

car centric urban planning is like the epitome of capitalism corrupting the very environment around you at a level so deep you cannot even fathom the alternatives like, we could build cities and our transport networks around pedestrian accessible zones, link them up with various combos of light and heavy rail and have a poo poo ton of space left over for people to live in but instead we have to forever destroy untold hectares of land by covering them in asphalt, then filling them to the brim with noisemaking stinking choking machines filled with explosives and death and making the entire urban landscape accessible only to said machines. also we have to constantly defy statistics because instead of relying on a few qualified trained operators for all everyone has to be their own qualified trained operator for their personal steel and explosive death machine all of this so a bunch of assholes could buy bigger yachts, it is so ridiculously maddening lmao

And every time I've done volunteer stream/forest clean-ups we've had to haul out countless tires because they're so frequently ditched to avoid disposal fees.
