MODERATORS
Here? Bicycles. Super weird how weird people are about bikes and bike lanes here. Spreading the joy of a non-commodified fun-as-fuck method of transportation often provokes some truly reactionary energy here.
Biking is based. The benefits far outweight the cons compared to the other private transport we have today. I thought the hate was almost exclusive to cars from what I've seen which is understandable. At least in comparison to bikes.
Pedestrians hate us too. Drivers want us off the road, pedestrians want us off the paths. We are welcome nowhere.
Pedestrian here, can confirm. Cyclists are the worst.
