I feel the sentiment behind three wheeled vehicles. Boomers who are likely unable to get on a motorcycle anymore but still want the open-air experience. Or their wife is adamantly telling them don’t get a bike again and/or wants to go along for the ride.

This definitely goes both ways. Boomers love them because they’re another shiny toy they can get their hands on for the price of less than half their pension per month and millennials can buy them if they skip the avocado toast every other day.

If this is gonna help people step away from buying cars and consider other types of transportation, then I am said customer.

It’s a lowrider. That’s the whole point.

Not denying this, especially having driven along many roads where the cyclist going 5 MPH up the grade is taking up the entirety of the lane among other things. And I admit to being that smug and hypocritical cyclist/motorcyclist sometimes, but I personally think that’s a human behavior thing.

Interesting how years of anti-cyclist/pedestrian sentiment and car-biased propaganda has pushed an entire population of people to see them as subhuman.

Despite what car apologists might be thinking about this, I think that there’s a definite correlation that was already highlighted, and I know this firsthand. But what is also important to note is people cycling in cities are also more likely to be local residents of that area, which means there’s a stake in how the…

In the short term yes, but then you have articles like the one that just popped up today that cover the insufficient maintenance budget versus the true cost of the road.

Oof. Hopefully they’re gauging opportunities to even that field.

It’s not necessarily rebuilding society, it’s repurposing some of our current infrastructure to be more pedestrian-friendly. We’re not talking about building up or creating high-density neighborhoods, I’m thinking about working with what we currently have, and that’s purely based on statistics for travel.

Take your star, you bastard.

It really surprises me that problem solving seems to be unanimously dependent on technology changing to fit that need. And from what I’ve seen the reality is so far removed from that perception. The world wants to go all-in on EVs to slow our impending climate doom, but it’s surprising that nobody is thinking about…

Oof. That’s not even the correct take. Just because you can kill someone with a pedal bike doesn’t even guarantee you will. It’s far more likely that you will do so in a car, and many times more likely if you do so in a truck. You’re now justifying the weight and size of a vehicle by suggesting that both options have…

Somehow I’d rather get hit in the knees and be in a wheelchair for a month than get hit in the head and be braindead for the rest of my life. And we’re talking exclusively about the hood height, we’re not even getting to the part where a car three times the weight will exert that much more force (but I wouldn’t know,…

Wow. So basically (and this is not basic by any definition of the word), the short answer is affordable housing isn’t actually financially beneficial for the property developer (plus the 1 million nuances the units have to go through to get the project done), and luxury housing must be billed because the cost to…

As much as I’d like to agree with the narrative that cars were largely rejected in American buyer tastes for trucks as a matter of choice, I don’t think that’s the case.

Honestly I would love to hear the explanation, I actually don’t know the answer.

Automakers: “We can’t hit emissions targets, cars have just become too large and inefficient for that!”

Also automakers: “Let’s cut every single fuel-efficient car in our lineup and force the average American to buy large trucks and SUVs!”

You could have record lows of unemployment paired with salaries paid for each of those jobs that don’t cover basic necessities. Almost everyone needs a roof over their heads, a car to get to and from work, and groceries. And if you totaled up the average cost of everything, sometimes you may get a few dollars to…

Well if these workers just pulled themselves up by their bootstraps harder and applied themselves, then they wouldn’t be dealing with this.
