    Yeah but what about if a person is a massive hambeast? Ain’t no cycles going nowhere under that strain.

    Or what if they are a massive douchenozzle chud fuckwit?!? It would emasculate them to not have the largest most unnecessary truck possible?!?

      “What about the disabled / elderies / social anxiety” must be the most bad-faith argument lmao. My friend got disabled because of cars. Most car drivers are not disabled, are they? Exemption for handicapped people already exists.

        Oh there’s always a genuine, non-sarcastic use for a car. I’m close enough to work to cycle without blinking, yet scheduling and family pressures / drop-offs/ pick-ups mean that it’s more time-sensible to drive.

        I hate it. I used to cycle every day to work.

        The other shitty thing in the equation is the public transport which functions at a generous 40% of what it might.

        I’d hate to wrap my soggy brain around solving the problem, but I wish someone would; more routes, more frequency, more funding. = fewer cars.

          Exactly… cars would not be that bad if they were used sparingly instead of making it a default.
