China does have a superb high-speed rail network, you gotta give them that

Switch to Signal. It’s not like there’s anything to learn, the UI isn’t all that different from WhatsApp

The left whiskers are there, the portrait mode filter thought they were part of the cat tree and applied massive levels of bokeh to blur them out

Honestly, Cuba and North Korea both have pretty decent (urban) roads. Pyongyang even has some bike lanes, bike parking, and bikesharing infrastructure

Yes. Don’t do that. Go for someone in their mid to late 30s

It is, but the monsoon’s about to roll in so it’s a little better at the minute. Humid as fuck though

The problem there is enforcing said smaller space. Painted bike lanes do absolutely nothing to ensure people get used to having the smaller space because drivers still have all that space. A painted line doesn’t stop them from swerving into the bike lane whenever they please.

At the very least you put flexi-posts on there to enforce it if you can’t build a full curb to protect the bike lane. That tends to discourage drivers if not stop them entirely

Slight disagreement there. Streets are for pedestrians and bikes and trams and the occasional car (in a dedicated car lane). Roads (as in large arterial roads in very limited areas, meant for fast travel between zones or between cities) can be considered as intended for cars, and even those should have pretty good space dedicated to bike lanes and pedestrian sidewalks.

If they even come at all, that is. 😏

With opinions like that, I expect there are very many things you don’t realize. That isn’t one of them, but I respect the attempt. Good lad.

Well, at least you’re not in denial about it. Good for you!

To be fair it’s exactly what you’d expect someone like this to tweet

Has the concept of “extending the bike lane so it leads to something” crossed your mind, or have you been huffing too much gasoline for that kind of radical thinking?

That’s because most of them are unprotected and drivers are assholes. Paint doesn’t mean shit to them

I can hear John Forester screaming in his grave

Columbia and other universities were beating the shit out of college kids under 46 (and his potential successor). It’s got nothing to do with presidents and everything to do with the colonial outpost on Palestinian land

Okay good. I was concerned they were serious for a second there.

Is that supposed to be satirical or…?
