Aright, you sad sacks of poo poo I'm here to bring a ray of sunshine to this thread.

I biked down to the ocean this weekend towing a drat boat I built and then launched it and sailed off into the sunset. Because sure, you can go boating without a car.



That's so cool

Look at that, the hull isn't even painted and yet she cuts a fine figure. No actual sailing pics because I was consumed by the beauty of the moment and trying not to wash up on a lee shore.

I376 is also one of the most heavily-used freeways in Pennsylvania, that guy is utterly full of poo poo about only going 60mph when he hit that. Over a hundred thousand cars use that freeway a day and they're not all trashing their vehicles.

I saw a Tesla force a group of bicyclists to thread the needle between the car and a "Share the road 🚲" construction sign planted in the middle of the bike lane, instead of merging for construction 30 feet early.

I don't know if I hate the car or the MUTCD more.

If it did trash a hundred thousand vehicles a day, it would need thirty-eight years and four months to trash all cars on earth!

lol further background on the Tesla dipshit is that he knows the bump was there and doesn't think he should have to slow down on a signed interstate for any reason ever. Also the car is owned by his company so insurance covers it.

there will be plastic posts with reflectors on the rubber curbs once it's complete, but the transit agency couldn't source them so will be putting up temporary flexible plastic posts until they can get the right ones, which are these:

this is going to be a continual problem at the start and end of this center bike lane. the street had a bike lane between the traffic lane and the parking lane already, but they're moving that to a center bike lane for 9 blocks due to the amount of delivery drivers that park in the bike lane to pick up food. but the bike lane continues for like another 5 blocks north and another 5 blocks south of where they are moving it to a center bike lane, so there will be points where cyclists are supposed to transition from a center lane to a right side lane or vice versa. the official sfmta plan at the transition points is that cyclists will stop, get off their bikes, wait for a light change to walk their bikes to the side and then transition to the right side bike lanes. what will really happen is cyclists will have to cross across a lane of traffic when they transition to or from the center bike lane to the right side bike lane

I have yet to find a piece of road design where a motorist is expected by the engineers to get out, push their car along for a bit, then get back in.

I see it asked of cyclists on every longer ride I take, of course. Not to mention beg buttons.

In 2008-09 when gas prices went apeshit, people got out of trucks and SUVs and got into Corollas and Insights and Priuses. Gas-efficient cars have been so stigmatized since then, and truck culture has gotten so integral to the American self-image, that this time around they just flipped credit cards and went on the news to complain about how Joe Biden made them poor.
