Every time an ignorant person says bicycling and public transit would never work in America like it does in Europe…

They not ignorant, they just have financial motivations because the fuel lobbies and automotive companies pay for them to keep things the way they are.
My city has subway tunnels that are half complete because they wanted people riding buses instead. easier to sell tires and fuel to bus companies than subways.

Look at this nikka yall.

Most cities and sprawling and built for cars …

It can only work in some places

I don't have to be that way. I know there's proposals in multiple cities to fill in certain small free ways (especially ones that are surface or below surface level and building on top of them. With work from home hybrid situations becoming more normal there's literally no need for American roads to even be that big anymore.

Amtrak >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
Wellll I take Amtrak often as I live in NYC but am from the DC area. I went home 4x last year and I’d say out of the 8 total rides, about half experienced some delay. And they were at random times so I have to assume it’s a regular occurrence. Further the pricing is vastly inflated if bought close to trip/around the holidays. That being said once you’re on it tends to be a comfortable ride

When you look at what they do in other countries like Japan with bullet trains and Europe with high speed rail it’s a joke how our rail system is. There is so much potential being squandered for a variety of reasons.

All of that being said I do enjoy traveling by train overall and certainly wish it was improved in various areas.

It’s not about history
People want to sit down & drive
They don’t want to use their legs

The other day I went to a store by foot & I bumped into an acquaintance. He noticed I was on foot & inquired.
I said I walked here, it’s like a 45 minute walk from home.
He freaked out, like FORTY FIVE MINUTES??????
he was telling me he would never walk that long.

People prefer comfort over very small minuscule effort!
This you?

Myself and my own.

None of those are big enough for the amount I buy. Some products I stock up for for months at a time and live far outside the city. I'm just saying. :manny:

Some time in the not too distant future, your nude body will be dragged through the streets by bike. 🚲 🚲 🚲 :dead:
