Gonna take a wild guess here and say that bikes are probably ok too. The stupid shit that tumbles out of the anti-car crowd is just comedy.
Bikes get a 2000 bikes per hour throughout on a 1 meter (3 feet) wide lane. Cars can get about 1900 vehicles per hour on a regular lane. Give bikes the same space as you give cars and bikes move a lot more people.
Its not bike friendly enough if you'd rather drive. There is a typhoon right now and its still more pleasant to casually motorbike through the city, at my own pace, completely unimpeded by traffic, looking for anything interesting, and park 3 feet from the entrance than to fuck with driving, slowing for traffic, pulling over to let someone pass because I'm not going fast enough, finding parking, walking through the rain and water streaming down the sidewalks.
Oh yeah if youre such a bikist name 5 bikes
This comment proves you do.
How is that an assumption at all? If you provide the same amount of infrastructure for bikes as for cars, then you still have half the infrastructure for cars, so people can use both / either.
And for those of us living in places where we don’t have bike friendly infrastructure, it’s useful to be able to point out that converting car infra to bike infra would have the capacity to reduce congestion, particularly if the area commits to making those changes more widely.
Don't be a car driving nuisance, it smells and it's loud. Not everyone wants to be around cars all the time.
Good for you.
Since foot lanes have a higher capacity than car lanes, let's permanently swap the space allocated to the two. Cars can drive on the sidewalk and people will walk on the road. If your car is too big to fit on the sidewalk you'll just have to get out and walk.
