Should motorbikes and cars share lanes? How to deal with left turns (the dangerous ones) in junctions? Should motorbikes and bikes have to do two-step left turn?

There’s an idea that we should categorize vehicles as human-poweres or not. Is this a good idea? How about paddle-assist-only ebikes?

When there’s not enough space for lanes, which type of vehicle get compromised?

    ? In my neighborhood there are more bikes than cars, and in other cities like Montpellier, cars aren’t even allowed to enter. Maybe you should learn that not every place is just like where you live.

      NYC. Detroit, Chicago, LA, Boston….

      These places would like you to know that they also exist. I’m sure your little neighborhood’s cute, but the aforementioned will eat it alive without gaining a pound.

      You’re not removing cars.

        I can’t tell if you’re joking or not. You literally listed cities that have massive transportation systems and an absolute fuckton of micromobility. You’re literally spewing shit out your ass and acting like it’s fact.

        It isn’t the norm. It’s the exception to the norm. Learn the difference between these two things.

        That’s not what that means. Holy shit you must be trolling or Russian. Get the fuck outta here.

          I mentioned those cities because in them- cars are THE NORM, kid. And they will be- THE NORM, for a long- LONG fucking time. Just because they happen to have alternatives, doesn’t mean those alternatives are- wait for it….

          THE NORM-

          Which is what this entire fucking conversation is about.

        Why are you being so absurdly condescending? At least learn to spell “without gaining a pound” first.

        And also, I live in Montréal, which is larger than half of those cities, but your point would be stupid regardles, beacuse, since you brought up NYC, only a quarter of new yorkers commute by car, a percentage which has been steadily dropping, because NYC is removing cars.

          I’m not gong to apologize for the enshitificarion of autocorrect and I don’t have enough respect for this discussion to bother going back over what I wrote to correct it.

          Secondly, I said a thing and got torn up by a bunch of asshoels. Yet you’re here to tell me I’m being condescending?

          LMAO!
