          New neighbourhoods in outer/suburban districts typically have well separated bike lanes for precisely the reason that mainline road traffic is often 18-wheelers for days.

          I'm imagining a hilly city with raised bike lanes that go over roads and such. Would be so cool and would mitigate the hilliness

        Bikes are better than cars, but fuck them as well. Walk or get on the train.

                Exactly, another tool to make us feel like we need to be getting places quicker than our own bodies can provide.

                    I mean yeah fuck busses, trains are cool for very obvious reasons.

                    Like I said walk or take the train. But since that’s not an option for most people we’re forced into all these other awful modes of transportation, including bikes.

                  This is such a weird take living in a city with a proper infrastructure for bikes and pedestrians. I mostly use my bike to get to the parks in the city centre to hang out with my friends in summer, I'd much rather spend 20 minutes riding my bike than walking for an hour so I can spend more time with them. Bikes don't really get in the way of pedestrians since people know how to behave on public roads and bikes stay on their own lanes. I guess it's a cultural thing, but the culture needs the infrastructure to develop itself.
