Would you ride a bike going to your office job in a 3 piece suit? Would you ride your bike at 115 degree heat in July? Would you ride your bike going to the club, bagging a shorty and going home with her?

No. That’s what a robust transit system would be for. Who’s going to work in a 3 pc suit to begin with? We don’t have to use these absurd hypotheticals to rebuke replies brotha. Y’all act like these people are on century rides

It’s common knowledge that the Dutch take cycling seriously, but it’s interesting to look at some numbers. The average daily distance cycled per person in the Netherlands is between 2.19 – 2.73km. Cycling is a very normal thing to do in the Netherlands, and this is largely thanks to the investment in infrastructure and education there.

That’s less than 2 miles per day

would rather buy a 50k luxury sedan than a beige 2006 Corolla because that luxury sedan would look cooler in their parking lot

I miss my 2006 matrix

Looks like a advanced and civilized society

It's not advanced at all, America is just decades behind.

Ask yourself why your city isn't redesigning to be more pedestrian friendly.

This is a local election issue. Vote for candidates who want to invest in public transportation and walkability.

There's a ton of housing that can be built on these mega parking lots and keep in mind a lot of these highways destroyed black neighborhoods.

City design is a HUGE factor in things like climate change, housing, air quality, health(think about the amount of time you spend sitting) etc.

I highly suggest that people take the energy they would be spending being outraged by the federal government theyre stuck with for at least the next 4 years and redirect it into local politics. You should be well informed on who is actually running the city and state you reside in.

No one wants this other weirdos on the internet

Looks trash, walkable yes. Bike freeway? No

Average car payment in America: $700 per month.
Average car insurance payment in America: $2,300 per year.
$10,700 per year before gas or maintenance.

This is staggering that Americans are actually ok with this.
Not only okay with it, but FERVENTLY REFUSE to consider any alternatives to it.

How do your travel in snowstorm and rain? How do you even get groceries? You ride a bike at 2am after the club???

Bikes can be equipped with attachments, I know that sounds crazy and for the other scenarios you’d have public transportation, they go hand and hand in societies that are built around each other.
