    You know what would actually fix traffic? TRAINS

    My city is super walkable with great walking and biking infrastructure. Still get run over by some fuck on a bicycle or escooter on the sidewalk or zebra crossing.

      I got hit by a car recently crossing a street. I’d rather get hit by an escooter.

  This is probably one of the top ten most incredibly based pictures ever. I love it. Thank you for brightening my day, OP

    I’m going to bike to a restaurant in 15 minutes after work today, maps says it takes cars 30 :)

      don’t forget the 15 minutes looking for a parking spot and 10 minutes walking from the parking spot tevthe restaurant

      Met my coworkers after work yesterday. 21 minute bike or car ride by the GPS. By the time they parked downtown it was 35 mins, meanwhile I shaved a minute off the GPS :) feels goooood

    Needs trees.

    • conditional_soup@lemm.ee ⁨13⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

      While, yes, it does, urban and suburban sprawl is far, far worse for trees. Go to your local Wal Mart super center and, not counting the garden center, tell me how many trees there are per acre in the parking lot. Now multiply that by every big box store and mile of stroad and highway.

  Bought an eBike last weekend because I’d rather be soaked by rain than sitting in traffic to/from work. It feels damn good to finally be the person in an otherwise empty bike lane, passing countless cars that are going nowhere.

    I love my ebike.

    I’ve been big into bikes forever, but the ebike just makes it super convenient to bike to work.

  Be happy that you can use an e-scooter or bike. Imagine being unable to use such a device, crappy public transport, and that in a city that cuts off cars…

  source

  • nichtburningturtle@feddit.org ⁨6⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

    Simply have good public transport

    source

    • Treczoks@lemmy.world ⁨6⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

      I would not mind. In the mean time, I skip that city and actually drive to the next city over and use their tram to get to the city center. Even though it is much farther, it is still quicker.

  hwo do I get to walkable city and live there

  • Saledovil@sh.itjust.works ⁨7⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

    Walking.

    source

    • Turret3857@infosec.pub ⁨19⁩ ⁨minutes⁩ ago

      that solves the first part if I walk for like 4 days, but how do I live there short of being homeless?

    Nah, cars certainly have their place, just a bike or scooter is way better downtown :)

    • jimmux@programming.dev ⁨15⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

      That’s supposed to be the consensus of the “fuck cars” movement, but the name certainly gives the impression of being completely against cars. When your eyes are opened to how car-centric infrastructure has taken over our societies it’s hard not to be a bit reactive.

    Nah cars are fucking awesome it’s just that they’ve taken over.

    source

    • Zagorath@aussie.zone ⁨14⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

      it’s just that they’ve taken over

      Like a lot of movements, fuck cars is named partly to grab attention. If you take the name literally, you get a misleading impression. A more accurate name would be “fuck car culture” or “fuck car-centric design” or “fuck motornormativity”. But those aren’t nearly as catchy.

    Yeah a plated dirt bike rules (as long as your commute is less than ~20mi). Gets 75mpg, goes literally anywhere (even where it’s not supposed to), and you look cool doing it.
