    Heck. Can we just do that anyway? Bikes (and ebikes) are the future. Anything else is borrowing from our future to pay the past.

      I love bicycling, and used to commute on bike almost exclusively. But I don’t do it so much anymore because I’ve had too many close calls.

        Buddy of mine was intentionally hit with a car while cycling. He was lucky, only permanent damage is some missing teeth. There’s real fucking psychos out there in the way of better bike infrastructure.

          That doesn’t surprize me in the least. I try to commute on bike wherever feasible, but these days I almost entirely stay off roads. Biking has taught me that 99% of people do not deserve their license.
