Fuck Cars@lemmy.world•The "cargo van" that's actually a cargo bike (that's actually an electric cargo tuk-tuk)English
3·19 days agoTop speed on this thing is 25kph (at least in the UK).

10·20 days agoThat’s a goddamned shame. European tram systems have figured out how to deal with that for years now, I don’t understand why the US refuses to do it

7·20 days agoI looked at the tech specs and it’s 924mm wide, which is slightly wider than the average cargo bike or trike. A typical bike lane is anywhere from 2 to 4m wide, which should leave enough space for passing or oncoming bike traffic I think.

Fuck Cars@lemmy.world•Spotted in Pune, India. Fuck pedestrians, I guess.English
4·24 days agoThat’s also what you’d see in any Indian city when the road isn’t dug up like that

Fuck Cars@lemmy.world•Zohran Mamdani, in the New York City mayoral debate: "Free buses would cost $700M. Cuomo gave more—$959M—to Elon Musk for a failed Tesla factory."English
238·1 month agoThe news, I guess? He made some very bombastic proclamations that endeared him to leftists and then promptly walked them right back to the middle of the road when the Democratic establishment (including Obama 1.0) got their claws into him

216·1 month agoOff the top of my head, he’s very pro-NYPD (which I guess is the easiest way to get the cops to vote for him) and also he straight up said he’d have Zionists in his administration and not worry about what their support for Zionism means in practical terms, so. Yeah.

622·1 month agoMe too, but if his recent overtures are any sign of things to come he’s absolutely going to be Obama 2.0

Fuck Cars@lemmy.world•Could it be that "just one more lane bro" does not, in fact, fix traffic congestion? No, it's those goddamned migrants that are the problem.English
18·1 month agoThe traffic-choked bit is the approach to the flyover (the one that was opened in 2005). The uncongested lanes next to it are an extended ramp section of the flyover that was very recently opened, so there aren’t as many vehicles using it yet.
As trials have already proven, all this does is move the congestion from one section of the road to the next.

Fuck Cars@lemmy.world•The Laziest Excuse for Bad Cities: "But it's raining/snowing/hot outside! You can't walk or cycle in bad weather!"English
9·1 month agoPublic transit and more affordable housing where people work is the actual solution.
… Therefore making bikes an excellent consequential solution to commuting. No one with a lick of sense is recommending that the only change required is that people switch to biking instead of driving.
Not that I’m disputing any of what you’re saying, but how is “No.” uppity?

politics @lemmy.world•Analysis: Charlie Kirk’s death shows political violence is now a feature of US life
593·2 months agoAh yes. The death of a tiny-faced, vile, white guy is what shows that. Not the thousands of mass shootings, or the Zionists running riot on college campuses, or ICE thugs (and pretend-ICE thugs) running rampant on the streets…it’s the extermination of vermin that did it. Sure.

11·2 months agoIt’s even worse in Canada where 50% of the population literally lives in a straight line in Ontario/Quebec
Yeah that’s fine, that happens. Keep riding, keep an eye on the shift display before you accelerate, you’ll get around it
It’s a matter of practice. With time you’ll develop a feel for ths shifts and you’ll get a lot better at discerning the half-step from first to neutral and then the meatier thunk into second. Just keep an eye on your display for a few rides until you start to consistently nail shifting out of first
















You guys have bike lanes? 🙃
