our area bikeshare program put a station around the block from where I live. we liked that because we use the bikes whenever it's a pain to have to worry about our own bikes. the station was up on a curb about 2-3 feet off the road, about 15 feet past a slight curve in the road. some dipshit wasn't looking, missed the curve, ran up on the curb, and slammed their car into the bikeshare station, destroying it. it was out of commission for a few weeks before it was repaired. shortly after they repaired it, maybe two weeks later, some dipshit wasn't looking, missed the curve, ran up on the curb, and slammed their car into the bikeshare station, destroying it. again. while people were out there cleaning up the station and assessing the new damage, some dipshit wasn't looking, missed the curve, ran up on the curb, and slammed their car into the people at the bikeshare station. I don't think they're putting it back in.

we put in a bike lane that everyone hates, including the cyclists. this is clearly the fault of those ungrateful loving car-hating cyclists

FlutieFlake posted:Are there any data about whether it is safer to cross during the "walk" signal or to carefully look for an opening in car traffic and cross without regard for the signal? Obviously depends a lot on the intersection and the timing of the walk lights. In a case where there's a shitload of turning traffic and the walk sign is only on when turning traffic has green, then there's really no "safe" time to ever cross that intersection. The Boston area has a lot of intersections that stop all traffic for the walk signs and I appreciate that.

I had the choice between "pay $200" and "stop riding my bike" and I went with the latter. Bike fits need to be subsidized or something

The crosswalk by my house had another serious accident. There's a slight curve in the road and people who are staring at their phones will blow through the crosswalk, hop the curb, and either smash into a tree or utility pole. There had been a bike share station but that got obliterated twice before they permanently removed it. It can't be overstated how oblivious you have to be to get in an accident here, on a 30mph road with the slightest of curves next to a crosswalk with two flashing yellow signs I cross this crosswalk every day when I go on a run so now I get to go yell at city council until they put in speed bumps, but in the meantime I've progressed from being angry at this happening to hoping the driver had the courtesy to die in the accident

Precambrian Video Games posted:Amtrak runs at "high speed" (Acela top speed is 150 mph although I don't know if it actually maintains it for very long) on the NE corridor if you're willing to pay $$$. It doesn't get anywhere near it, too many crossings. It's about 30 minutes faster than the NE Regional between Boston-NYC or NYC-DC, and a lot of that is just because it makes fewer stops. So hooray, your Boston-DC trip takes 7 hours instead of 8 for the low, low price of $350.

Celexi posted:The Accela only has a single crossing and that was some years back, I don't know if it still has that. Maybe it's not crossings then, tracks or traffic or otherwise, it's still only hitting 150 mph in a couple places. I've only had one chance to take it because it's so expensive I can only use it for business travel and they normally want me on a plane for anything except BOS-NYC.

Kei cars and trucks are great because they perform the basic function of getting your poo poo from point A to point B admirably, but are obviously completely impossible in the US because we demand more power and more size there's tons of car traffic and a lot of the roads are tiny things with no sidewalks that aren't wide enough for two lanes of traffic, and yet it works fine and I felt safe running and biking on the roads because people don't drive like assholes

Salt Fish posted:I was reading about kei trucks and apparently they're total poo poo to drive and maintain and the reason they're banned for import (until they're antiques) is because they have no emission controls compared to a normal US car. lol no they're banned for import because everything is banned for import, manufacturers and dealers don't want you to do it. that said, they definitely don't meet US safety standards, because US safety standards are way harsher because we drive like goddamn maniacs. they're designed for the Japanese market with exacting specifications. they're great to drive in the right context, but that context isn't US roads. I often end up renting a Kei car when I need to drive in Japan, the speed limits everywhere except expressways are 60 kph or lower, and that's about how fast those things can move without starting to struggle a bit

lobster shirt posted:if you need a car once a month just rent one, im sure thats cheaper than owning yeah, I do a lot of trail running and we always used zipcars and rentals to get to trailheads on weekends when we lived in the city. depending on our itinerary it could be a pain in the rear end (we'd have to pick the car up the night before if it was a rental rather than a zipcar) but it was undoubtedly cheaper than ownership if that was the only thing we needed the car for.
