Doc Hawkins posted:one extra gently caress you to our heroes in the fire department, and L O L at the planned posts being spaced one hundred loving feet apart. just say it's a turning and parking lane! admit it! closed ticket as wontfix; working as designed they also used to close certain blocks of Valencia to car traffic entirely. always loved to see what was happening in the street on those days. people would hold impromptu dinner parties and music performances that drew decent crowds. wonder if that'll ever happen now that we're putting a big ribbon of bad ideas straight down the middle of the road there are already two major 4-lane roads that run down the entire length of the mission two blocks to either side! it's so infuriating corona familiar has issued a correction as of 10:18 on Jun 22, 2023 |

I've gotten used to biking in the Midwest again so it's always like 40 km distance, 3 m gain. hell yeah biking long distances. glad to hear you're back up and running after the injury  i was invited to a friend's birthday party like 60km away yesterday and decided what the hell, I'll bike there instead of taking the train like I normally would. planned the route the night before and ended up sticking pretty close to the train line so I could bail out if I got tired or had a mechanical fault. there was some nice separated bike infrastructure here and there but it was mostly sharrows and a few really dicey 8-lane intersections. the crosswind was pretty strong too which didn't help fell down once when trying to stop and take a photo because I didn't realize the curb cutout had a big lip to it until it was too late

was riding in the hills and took the lane earlier today for one minute while passing through a tunnel instead of riding in a 2 ft wide shoulder got honked at even though traffic was moving like 10mph meanwhile all the tourists on rental bikes going the other direction all get squeezed in that gap between SUVs and the tunnel wall. it looked profoundly uncomfortable drivers are so rude corona familiar has issued a correction as of 02:54 on Aug 6, 2023 |

imo instead of bickering online we should yell at cities to stop building MUPs as a compromise that don't serve anyone very well and build decent separated bike and pedestrian paths with enough capacity to handle demand instead but since this is America and we continue to make incredibly dumb urban planning decisions I try to not be a jerk to other path users while cycling  I do take every chance to slap cars parked in the bike lane though corona familiar has issued a correction as of 02:11 on Aug 24, 2023 |

Ardennes posted:Portland and San Francisco have at least potential, it is more the local governments there are been extremely lackadaisical in the last few years. That said, San Francisco was pretty cool just to take public transportation and walk around in. agreed. San Francisco's one of the better cities in the country for living without a car. imo the challenges arise from local business interest groups (freaking out about parking spaces at the expense of literally everything else), the visible poverty and homelessness breaking peoples' brains, lack of operating funds, and interacting with the rest of the Bay Area where transportation is substantially worse and more car dependent the real irritating part for me is people who live and work in SF who drive within the city. driving here is not pleasant! parking is a pain! people drive super aggressively! it's slower! but it means you don't have to interact with or perceive people who have suffered on behalf of the wealth inequality you feel guilty about. because these folks tend to be wealthier they also have an outsized influence on planning the built environment

gradenko_2000 posted:I've tinkered with my bike way more than I ever have with a car.  tinkering with my car either involves getting underneath it (no thanks), lots of tools, hazardous fluids that require special disposal, or a potentially expensive and time consuming tow truck trip to my actual mechanic if I gently caress something up. and that's if it's something that doesn't require a lift or a ridiculous amount of disassembly. I will replace a battery or interior trim piece. I would rather let someone else with the space and tools replace a tire or change oil tinkering with my bike involves much fewer tools, and if I gently caress something up I wheel it down the street to the bike shop and they shake their head and fix it for me

sillyloquy posted:Cops are notoriously bad at bikes. In Austin there's a state bike cop that's all of 5'3" and his bike is WAY too big for him. One time I saw him trying to push himself by his tippy toes to hop a curb while the rest of his pals rolled past him. if he doesn't ride a big bike how will the other cops on big bikes respect him? how will he intimidate civilians?  clearly we need to get this guy a pennyfarthing with fat tires
