Can confirm, i live in the Netherlands and the bike lanes here are painted red because they are communist.

Here in America the bike lanes are painted red because thats the blood of bicyclists who are hit staying in their bike lane. As our drivers are swerving lanes as they watch tiktok on their phone while driving.

"BUMPBUMP!! Hey! Whoa! That's a weird place for a speed bump....."

In the US we would only paint them red to hide the bloodstains after a cybertruck runs over them.

Can... a cybertruck actually run over anything?

The downward sloped hood should push people underneath. The wheels and weight are enough to grind someone and their bike underneath like a meat crayon with some chunky bits.

given it's issues with anything other than flat, level, dry terrain, I would suspect it would lose traction, capsize, shut down, catch fire, or any combination of those the moment the tires break skin and liquid becomes involved.

Fun fact. Not actually just paint. They use different colored alphant altogether. It's why it's so vibrant and never fades.
