I recognize appreciating cool machines, I really do. I’ve just never been able to wrap my head around being a car guy. Spending huge chunks of change on a car, consistently modifying it, watching car shows all the time. I just dont get it. What’s the big draw for you?
And there’s your problem, you see cars as an appliance.
Why even bother driving if you’re going to have that attitude? Just take public transport if you really hate cars that much.
Cars are an appliance. And I have two, a daily and a special.
Both are appliances.
I have two superbikes. They are useless for anything other than being shiny, making noise, and putting a smile on my face. They are also just appliances.
I have a mountain bike and an eMTB. I have fun on them and they keep me fit but, guess what…? Yep, appliances!
I don’t drive.
Cars are an appliance. Your problem is that you don’t see them as such
I gotta say, it’s wild behaviour to come into a vehicle appreciation post and call them toasters hahaha.
Your bike is an egg timer, but if you’re passionate about egg timers then so be it, enjoy that countdown. When you find yourself in an artisanal grandfather clock festival, keep the egg timer in your pannier.
I’m going to shit on people who actively make my life worse. Cars are regressive.
Alao, I didn’t call them a toaster lmfao
Wouldn’t you think a toaster an appliance?
Do you think the people in this post have any decision making power over the type of infrastructure that gets built in their respective municipalities? Your comments here don’t show someone that wants safer biking through their city, just fruitless yelling at the wind.
Join an advocacy group in your community to pressure your councillors for modal separation. If there isn’t such a group, start one. Start a bike bus for your local elementary school. Start a bicycle based trash collection service for your neighbourhood. Do anything other than shit on people that may not have another option than driving due to their infrastructure. Antagonizing people only serves to harden their position.
Showing up to a huntering lodge and shouting about veganism isn’t going to help the cause. Instead, try inviting them to a barbeque and have plant based sliders for them to try.
