I was gonna say... Y'all have lanes? Most places around here just have a "sharrow" (shared lane arrow), and that's if we're lucky
Painted lanes are kinda cool, but it completely melts the brains of suburban commuters. Pretty sure drivers are more aggressive with cyclists since cycling lanes were introduced here. It's like preferable, but you gotta hope you don't have a suburban psycho nearby when using it, lol.
It might as well be illegal to own a bicycle in the US.
Almost everyone wants you dead if they see you peacefully riding a bike, minding your own business. What did cyclists ever do to them?
Oh right! NOTHING! Just like black people, women, Jews, Asian people, LGBT people. IT's JUST LE FUN-FUNZ XDDDD to be a sadistic inbred tumor in :amerikkka:
if they see you
Thats the thing, they dont see you. Theyre up 10 feet high in their human crushing machine.
Being in cars seems to really bring out the worst in people. I've got yelled at and given the middle finger when I was driving because I didn't want to pass some cyclists on a twisty road with bad visibility.
So the bikes have their own mini road system? Now that I've seen this I will be angry forever that the US doesn't have this shit.
In downtown Helsinki, yes. It's more common for cyclists to share the sidewalk with pedestrians though. There are also places where cyclists ride among traffic but never on big-ass highways like that. Pretty sure you'd get the cops called on you fairly quick if you tried
Jesus H what I wouldn't give to move to a place like that. I don't even need to speak the language, I just wanna ride bikes in nice communities where pedestrians, bikes, and communal spaces are the norm. And I like cars (just not car-dependency, and not in cities).
I was going to say that Dutch looks like English except for some words. It must be the same when Spanish speakers look at Italian. But then I looked up the one word there and saw it was Finland. When I look at Finnish, I think Korean or Japanese since their words are so agglutinated.
Well that's an interesting idea. Had to go searching: https://www.quora.com/Is-it-true-the-Finnish-and-Korean-languages-may-share-a-common-root
I'd be terrified going up or down that fucking thing, you just know there's gonna be assholes coming around the corners at supersonic speeds
I find it better to let them suffer. Remember, in the Netherlands if a motorist and a cyclist have an accident, the motorist is always at fault. Always, even if the cyclist is doing a handstand on the handlebars with one hand and flipping the motorist off with the other.
Thankfully you never see that many bikes in one place around here, that stresses me out just looking at it
I look at Cajuns and they seem happy. I'd totally be a Cajun. A mountain Cajun a-talkin' bout de Rocky Montagnes wit de sweet morels you put in de Bourguignon oh mon amie :chefs-kiss:
The state has provided you with not one but two safety lines on the left. If anything the safety features are excessive, and you cyclists want more? A person who would give up freedom for security deserves neither.
25 mph is normal residential area speed. You sure its not more like 35 or 45 to be so shocking?
I’m shocked there haven’t been more accidents between those hastily constructed dining areas that have been built during the pandemic and traffic
Unfortunately, if your bike is your primary transport, you often have no choice.
/r/fuckcars are going to be our homies. It's the next /r/antiwork
Montreal is fine but the Not Just Bikes channel got me :pingu-horny: for Amsterdam
Yeah yeah :kkk-netherlands: or something but they have top tier cycling infrastructure. Unrivalled
lol this is what you get if you're lucky, I've never seen anything like this
Bike lanes around where I live are either ditches or they merge onto highways with cars going 80mph. I've literally never seen a person using any of them. When I do see people biking it's on the shoulder of the road.
