Comment on Me when I zoom past traffic on my e-scooter

I love cars and would likely continue to own them even if I no longer needed them day to day. That’s vilified on the other site but seems fine here, as it should be.

But it didn’t? It would regularly get people who are into their project cars or whatever come in and people would be quite friendly. Because the vast majority of that subreddit understood that the point of the movement is about systemic change and car culture, not about individual cars.
Very anecdotal I know, but that certainly wasn’t my experience, I’d regularly see near-militant comments to anything even remotely suggesting cars had a place, as well as outright trolling or brigading of other subs. If I was just unlucky that’s cool, but it did seem pretty consistent.

That tends to be pushback against anyone saying their specific use case requires a car, rather than saying nobody should be allowed to like cars as a hobby.

Yeah, that’s why I blocked that subreddit. The car hate was too much. Not like I can load up my partner, my two kids in a car seats with two Labradors on a bike. Especially in a major city that can get a ton of snow in winter. Also we do long trips from Colorado to Upstate NY once or twice a year.
We do our part biking or walking when we can. Will be super excited when my little one can ride a bike

Cargo bikes are great for kids too, you can see it in their faces as it brightens up with all the new things they get to interact with instead of being bored in the back of the car

Snow is such a huge obstacle to bicycles, that’s why you only get bicycle culture in warm and sunny places, like Norway.
