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.
Bikes are mostly single use forms of transportation. Trains move large parts of the population and if we actually did city planning correctly you wouldn’t need a bike to get to and from work. You wanna ride it for fun, great, but go look at cities where bikes have taken the place of vehicles, they fuck up commuting for pedestrians.
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.
Bikes suck. Learn to use your feet.

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

I do, they suck and they get in my way.
