I would really like there to be automatic door opening systems with door locking when an object enters a defined approach space.
In truth, I would really like there to be no more cars at all…
You still going to need fast response vehicles and something for people with disabilities. Also in a lot of places public transport alternatoves are really really suicide worthy… But I do agree with general sentiment though, fuck cars!
Watch the video. They handle that.
really really suicide worthy
more than owning a car?
Half as Interesting made a video about the logistics (and exceptions) in a town without cars
I just see a button that says “watch on loops”
And when I click it, nothing happens
I got this unintentionally hilarious screen.
Ha yeah, looks like the hosting service for Loops is having issues:
Wow, that rider is way too polite. I’d yell at them.
There’s advantages to being passive aggressive, like making the other person feel like an asshole. Only works if the other person has the capability to feel shame, though.
yelling makes you feel more angry, which will probably make you feel worse
I’m actually surprised by how many loops videos I’ve been seeing and I love it
I had a bike commute in LA where the same truck passed me every morning and swerved into me. Lots of undiagnosed mentally ill people on the roads.
The parking lane is too small for the truck, so the truck is in the bike lane.
Should the truck drive up on the curb to avoid the bike lane or should the truck have enough room to exist fully away from the bike lane?
Urban planning intensifies
Or should we just ban big trucks in cities?
How do we move stuff? Toss your washer and dryer on top of your Tesla? Contractors load up big trucks daily, filled to the brim with siding, garage doors, electric supplies, you name it. It is a standard. The only people not following it are the city. Those trucks are as wide as they’ve been for 30 years. Those bike lanes have only been there for two or three if the paint is anything to go by. What’s the hold up? I guess nobody at City Hall has a proper tape measure.
Cool to see Loops in action.
503 for me
Same, but it had been working earlier.
Give it some grace, it’s new and has had an impressive start.
Same same here in much of Australia, painted lines are not bike lanes :(
LA needs to get with the program, Seattle is installing concrete barriers to separate cars from bike lanes because as the video shows, car drivers don’t give a fuck
I was waiting for it to do a seamless loop
I am more terrified of doors than moving cars when I am biking through some areas.
Why is everyone opening their doors in the road in the first place? I’ve never been to a big city so I don’t know how it is
Car dependent infrastructure often leaves no good spaces to just pull over and park in. You gotta account for those spaces and pay for them or keep the road liminal, making things like this common in the states when civilians are trained to hate cycling.
If it’s a car dependent infrastructure how come OP is on a bike, in a bike lane
This might shock you but lines of paint on an asphalt road is not cycling infrastructure. Its dangerous, as the video portrays.
Car 1 sucks and car 2 super sucks. Truck is just doing his job and often there is no good place for them to load/unload. Last car there is no way they could have known a bike was coming due to truck.
Sure, there’s no place for trucks to unload, but take that space from cars, not bikes. Cars can circle the block or wait for 10 mins while they unload, but bikes passing by need to use the space for 5 seconds.
that’s why it’s not okay for trucks to do that
Hypothetically, if you were intending to break a wing mirror to save someone’s life… Punch down, pops right off. Hypothetically, armoured gloves would be best for this, which would protect you’re hands in the event of a crash.
