- Henri Lefebvre, The Right to the City — In brief, the right to the city is the right to the production of a city. The labor of a worker is the source of most of the value of a commodity that is expropriated by the owner. The worker, therefore, has a right to benefit from that value denied to them. In the same way, the urban citizen produces and reproduces the city through their own daily actions. However, the the city is expropriated from the urbanite by the rich and the state. The right to the city is therefore the right to appropriate the city by and for those who make and remake it.

this monstrosity, that can fit one backpack and bag of groceries into its cargohold, doesn't fit in any bike lane, unless that bike lane is as wide as the one for cars. so it needs space in the car lane and is maybe slightly shorter, but that's not really significant difference.
also do you imagine all bike lanes full of these? yeah, that would solve the congestion problem for sure ;)
Are you high? I live in Denmark, a country that has a high amount of bikes, and I see tons of those cargo bikes on the bike lanes each day. Parents bringing their kids to daycare, postal workers bringing letters and parcels, landlords bringing all their tools between apartment complexes around the city. Possibilities are endless.
no. is that a requirement for talking to you?
oh i would like to see your face when all goods that is being transported in vans would suddenly start clogging these bike lanes.
fortunately for everyone it is not going to happen, so you can dream on and fly to tell other pigeons you have won this discussion. 😂
You need to get out if your basement, mate. They are right now transporting lots of stuff on bikes. The fact that you can't be arsed to even look up pictures from other parts of the world and still stubbornly reject other realities than your own says more about you than me.
So, dream on, your car-centric "utopia" doesn't exist.
oh the car-centric dystopia definitely exists, unlike your cargo-bike one.
you see, there is not necessarily cult on the other side that fights with your cult just because you have another flag. maybe the other side commented on your thoughts because they see a problem in them and that is how you can improve. you will see that, when you get out of your basement one day.
