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?
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.
I specifically hate car enthusiasts, because their driving around on roads at high speeds and loud engines worsens life for other people. It’s separate from infrastructure concerns. Though I have both.
The straight pipes worsening air quality also doesn’t help.
People don’t change their positions just because you act nicely
