DavidDoesLemmy, in [meme] What would cities be like today if we had never demolished our streetcar networks?

Come to Melbourne, Australia. We have trams .

merde, in cycling in Italian cities

you’re comparing Italy with which country? where do you live?

freebee,

Belgium. It was mainly about the very large difference within Italy. I don’t see fundamental differences in infrastructure (low quality almost everywhere in Italy I’ve been, mostly because non-existant), so I was wondering why for example lodi does have so many normal cyclists that do not seem to be part of those two demographics.

merde,

thanks for the reply.

as a cyclist, you’re lucky to live in Belgium

frostbiker, in Can’t believe the car would do this all by itself

At least they didn’t use the victim-blaming language news outlets often use for pedestrians and cyclists: “Tanning shop struck in accident wasn’t wearing a helmet”. No mention of the driver, the car, who had the right of way, who was speeding, etc.

jerkface, in I cannot agree with you on Cars, but Trucks? Yes.

Kolanaki, in [discussion] Bus commuters of Lemmy, do you use bars or handles?
@Kolanaki@yiffit.net avatar

I don’t live where the busses are regularly so full you have to stand, so no. I just take a seat and relax.

When I was in NYC, I didn’t touch anything on the bus or subway when I used them. I kept my hands in my pocket cuz everything there was icky.

cosmic_slate, in Parking Reimagined in Fairfax
@cosmic_slate@dmv.social avatar

An interesting metric on their FAQ is:

In Fairfax County, 4% of residents own no vehicle and 30% own one vehicle. Among renters, 12% own no vehicle and 47% own one vehicle.

I’m surprised that 12% of renters don’t own vehicles given how suburban the county is. Tysons and Reston, while the densest areas, still don’t seem anywhere near as friendly to ditching a car compared to the Ballston-Clarendon-Rosslyn corridor in Arlington.

This is better late than never but the county has a long way to go to fix the sprawl, especially with how chaotic the Tysons transformation is coming along.

AA5B,

12% of renters don’t own vehicles

They counting college students? I don’t know anything about George Mason but it’s pretty big

jeroentbt, in How the heck did we get here? Most best selling "cars" are now superzied pickups and SUVs.

This is so blown out of perspective!

/img pun, I’ll get my coat

Shmandom, in Obligatory XKCD!

Already got a Onewheel, I just need a 'pon now… 😁

Buddhist1961, in [discussion] Bus commuters of Lemmy, do you use bars or handles?
@Buddhist1961@programming.dev avatar

Bars, because I live in a third world country with subpar and barely maintained public transport handles aren’t even an option. I suspected what handlers are but I actually had to look them up just to be sure.

rockhandle, in [discussion] Bus commuters of Lemmy, do you use bars or handles?

I use bars more than handles. It’s usually the quickest thing to grab a hold of

Rentlar,

When the bus starts going while I’m moving to the back you’ll see me holding on alternating hands like I’m on a set of monkey bars.

Uranium3006, in [discussion] Bus commuters of Lemmy, do you use bars or handles?
@Uranium3006@kbin.social avatar

I'm a bar person myself

nbafantest, in [discussion] Bus commuters of Lemmy, do you use bars or handles?

I use bars. I feel like they are easier to clean since you just have to wipe them down.

lvxferre, in [discussion] Bus commuters of Lemmy, do you use bars or handles?
@lvxferre@lemmy.ml avatar

Bars. I don’t feel safe with the handlers.

Skunk, in [discussion] Bus commuters of Lemmy, do you use bars or handles?

Bars, because sometimes you’re not 100% certain you don’t have a tiny wet spot under your white shirt arm pit…

But if did not sweat, I kinda like the hooks, it’s just that it can be a kind of a bet.

Rentlar,

Hopefully your username wasn’t earned from a scenario related to this wet spot.

Glad to see someone appreciate loops, they are useful and seemed easy to use for people standing and looking at their phone.
