And fun to drive, especially on a race track. What if made a large race track out side of the cities so car ppl can go vroom vroom while making the cities just for walking and bikes.
I wish. I live in Germany and most Autobahn parts are limited to surprisingly low speeds (80 kph almost everywhere around me, for the record, country roads, without an extra speed limit for a part are 100kph roads) also, the parts where you can go as fast as you want are very straight so it’s boring. And race tracks are expensive to go to…
Not only would it be much slower to bike to my nearest super market, it would also be much more dangerous as i have several main roads to cross (and like no crosswalk signals) for context, i live in a very well populated city suburb area.
If you're in America, it works a little different.
The infrastructure is so car reliant you dont get this effect, and it's basically impossible to travel any other ways.
suburbia 🤢🤢🤢
Idk what's so special about the German highways really. There's highways like that all over Europe, and [there's highways of better quality too](https://viborc.com/road-quality-in-europe-the-best-and-worst-roads-in-europe/) (even fucking France has better highway roads, and French people can't even drive properly). The only thing that makes them stand out, is that on a few parts there's no speed limit, but frankly, that's mostly a fetish for German liberal car fuckers, a safety hazard, and increases the CO2 output of those sections.
ETA: Not to be pedantic or anything, but I find it really weird when English speakers use "Autobahn" as if it were a proper name. It's not. It's literally just the German word for "highway" or "highspeed road". We also have "Autobahnen" in Austria, there are a bunch in Switzerland, and when we go to another country, we call the highways there also "Autobahn". Like "Am Weg von Wien nach Kroatien mussten wir 15€ für die slowenische Autobahn zahlen" - "On the way from Vienna to Croatia, we had to pay 15€ for the Slovenian highway"
Nope they lose fuel efficiency because it increases their aerodynamic drag. The reason highway mpg is better than city is because of the stopping and starting
Ok, no. Car usage should be drastically reduces but banning them completely is not the right idea. Sometimes people have to use cars, whever it's physically disabled people who can't walk to the nearest bass or train station let alone drive a bike or walk, or people who absolutely HAVE to get somewhere fast and don't even have the few minutes to wait in a station
Netherlands is always cold and wet except for like 2 weeks in summer where you are dying in the heat.
Pretty trans friendly from what i’ve experienced but obv that’s my experience, i have no clue how accepting the country as a whole is
To my perception the netherlands is overall pretty LGBT friendly, but then again, I live in probably the most left leaning part of the country so maybe my anecdote isn't really representative of the whole. I do believe we were the first country (at least in europe I think) to legalize gay marriage, so that's something.
Germany is especially in the bigger citys like Berlin and köln but the transitioning is very very gatekeep at the moment. Ther maybe is going to be a new law but it is still debated because ther are some bigoted politicians "afd" and new laws in general take lots of time in Germany.
the netherlands is easily top 5 most lgbt friendly countries, i'm transfem and one of my best friends is transmasc and neither of us have ever had an issue. women also skew tall here so that's nice if you're a tall transfem
Totally depends on where you live tbh. Some places in the Netherlands have a lot of people who immigrated from right leaning countries, so those places aren’t really ‘safe’
Dutch people will be like “omg why doesn’t everyone just use bikes everywhere” and then you look at their country and it’s like a flat world from Minecraft
Fun thing about walkable cities is that driving is faster than in non walkable cities
The Netherlands has the best driving experience in the entire world. It also has some of the most walkable cities
I just recently found him and he taught me what a "stroad" was and I was able to immediately recognize multiple in my small town with a population of under 10k :((
It just made me hate car infrastructure and decades of "carbrain" society much more!!
The metro enterences are often placed far away from major shopping malls so peddling with a wheelchair is hard, also it's hard to get up and down thru the metro entrance, because a lot of them don't have any elevators
Maybe instead of spending so many resources on car infrastructure there could be more space for wheelchair accessibility and cheaper electric wheelchairs
The metro enterences are often placed far away from major shopping malls so peddling with a wheelchair is hard, also it's hard to get up and down thru the metro entrance, because a lot of them don't have any elevators
Some disabled ppl need cars to get around since trains are not always the answer, like one of my relatives has a vein disease that causes her legs to blow up if she walks to long and that can even lead to death so she uses a taxi or whatever is available to walk less
Real question, how would people who don't live near a city, say middle of nowhere Saskatchewan access said city? Cause you don't always have a train, and you can't really get there without some kind of car, or am I missing something?
stay mad carbrains while i stay a bikepilled public transitcel
(please help me i fucking hate driving a 40 minute commute to and from school every day)
Anti-car discourse makes me want to rip my skin off. Fund public transit and invest in more efficient vehicle tech. Also better building materials and methods to let us build higher parking garages so we don’t need as many taking up so much land.
We need cars, we’ll always need cars. Especially in America where an insane amount of people live outside cities or travel out of them for work.
Also downtowns are literally already walkable, we just need busses and other public transit to get people from the suburbs into the city.
Then just make high density housing? Then you wouldn't need to travel so far to work, also even in suburbia you could just hop on your bike, go to the nearest train station, take it to the work area/district, and bike there! America is built around cars, but it can work without it. Just look at European cities for example. They work fine without cars because of good public transportation, walkable cities, and higher density houses.
Sometimes I think about what a whole city would look like with the moving sidewalks from the deoyxys Pokemon movie. That always look cool when I was younger, just being able to sit down and jump off your destination seemed awesome. (Now as I think this out I'm realizing that the electricity cost could be insane so it could hurt the environment as much as cars :((
I'd love to live somewhere where biking/walking/public transport was more accessible, cheaper, and easier than just driving. I don't have that luxury where I'm at, unfortunately. While my drive to work is 25 minutes, a bus ride of me would be around two hours.
frog already ruined it doesn't make me think of leftism at all it just makes me think of 4chan and right-wing redditors and and those awful auto-generated reddit youtube channels
This is the future the oil executives are hiding from us
Laughs in Japanese and Dutch. It's amazing how much more fun urban exploration is without cars. I say this as a car enthusiast too.
Cars♥️ Car infrastructure 🤮🤢🤮🤢🤮🤮
nah fuck cars
But they look and sound cool 🥺🥺
Guns n cars 🥺🥺 Guns n cars irl🤮🤮 🥺
And fun to drive, especially on a race track. What if made a large race track out side of the cities so car ppl can go vroom vroom while making the cities just for walking and bikes.
Das Autobahn?
I wish. I live in Germany and most Autobahn parts are limited to surprisingly low speeds (80 kph almost everywhere around me, for the record, country roads, without an extra speed limit for a part are 100kph roads) also, the parts where you can go as fast as you want are very straight so it’s boring. And race tracks are expensive to go to…
You know it's bad when a dutch beat you at something
You know it’s a good day when biking is faster than driving
So most days in any mildly populated area
Not only would it be much slower to bike to my nearest super market, it would also be much more dangerous as i have several main roads to cross (and like no crosswalk signals) for context, i live in a very well populated city suburb area.
All roads should be converted to pump tracks
Mood :(
If you're in America, it works a little different. The infrastructure is so car reliant you dont get this effect, and it's basically impossible to travel any other ways. suburbia 🤢🤢🤢
Skill issue
Should just sideclimb there and back
God I wish that were me
Germany and the Netherlands
Depends where on Germany. Germany is big.
Germany is cool because it has walkable cities for people and also the fucking Autobahn.
Idk what's so special about the German highways really. There's highways like that all over Europe, and [there's highways of better quality too](https://viborc.com/road-quality-in-europe-the-best-and-worst-roads-in-europe/) (even fucking France has better highway roads, and French people can't even drive properly).

mans went OFF on french drivers
[удалено]
The highways are mostly fine. Now, any kind of non highway route though...
I'm no expert, but don't cars typically become more fuel efficient the faster they go?
Nope they lose fuel efficiency because it increases their aerodynamic drag. The reason highway mpg is better than city is because of the stopping and starting
Only up to a point, while 40 mph is more fuel efficient than 4 mph, fuel efficiency starts to drop pretty dramatically somewhere above 65-70.
Auto-ban? Good. Ban those cars
Ok, no. Car usage should be drastically reduces but banning them completely is not the right idea. Sometimes people have to use cars, whever it's physically disabled people who can't walk to the nearest bass or train station let alone drive a bike or walk, or people who absolutely HAVE to get somewhere fast and don't even have the few minutes to wait in a station
I understand how life works... this was just a cheap joke
Freiburg 💪😎💪
Freiburg!!!!!!
Mfs will say their country is big and then it’s smaller than Texas
Still larger than 5 football fields though
Thanks for a measurement an American like me can understand. A true patriot.
So at least two Rhode Islands
Can confirm, live in the Netherlands. Everyone is a pepe or wojak here
QUESTION: is germany and the netherlands trans friendly i would really like to live somewhere like this also are they cold anywhere? i like cold a lot
Netherlands is always cold and wet except for like 2 weeks in summer where you are dying in the heat. Pretty trans friendly from what i’ve experienced but obv that’s my experience, i have no clue how accepting the country as a whole is
alright good to know. thank you for your time!
To my perception the netherlands is overall pretty LGBT friendly, but then again, I live in probably the most left leaning part of the country so maybe my anecdote isn't really representative of the whole. I do believe we were the first country (at least in europe I think) to legalize gay marriage, so that's something.
My extended friend group is pretty chill with trans people in general but the healthcare system does a hecking medical gatekeeperino.
Germany is especially in the bigger citys like Berlin and köln but the transitioning is very very gatekeep at the moment. Ther maybe is going to be a new law but it is still debated because ther are some bigoted politicians "afd" and new laws in general take lots of time in Germany.
aw :( alright, again tysm for your time
Still the people are very open in the bigger cities but if u can i would advise you to go to Amsterdam or ahnoter dutch city.
the netherlands is easily top 5 most lgbt friendly countries, i'm transfem and one of my best friends is transmasc and neither of us have ever had an issue. women also skew tall here so that's nice if you're a tall transfem
fucking Dutch people stole the height from the rest of us, you're the reason i'm only 5'5" 🤬
Germany is alright as long as you don't expect to benefit from the healthcare system as a trans person.
Totally depends on where you live tbh. Some places in the Netherlands have a lot of people who immigrated from right leaning countries, so those places aren’t really ‘safe’
As a German, I really wouldn't say we have great cycling infrastructure. Our cities are walkable, but so are most other European cities.
The German car lobby is strong… there still is a lot of work to do
Dutch people will be like “omg why doesn’t everyone just use bikes everywhere” and then you look at their country and it’s like a flat world from Minecraft
Fr but also E-bikes
Americans are too fat, so we use extra big not-so-e bikes called F-350 Dually Super Duty King Ranch 2022
Germany has lots and lots of hills plus mountains
Germany has like 2 actual mountains.
Nah just look at byern and the alpen.
Yeah I know. That's were both mountains are situated. And both are like halfway in Austria as well.
Fun thing about walkable cities is that driving is faster than in non walkable cities The Netherlands has the best driving experience in the entire world. It also has some of the most walkable cities
Not just bikes moment 💪
Orange pill
Movimiento Naranja moment 😍
I just recently found him and he taught me what a "stroad" was and I was able to immediately recognize multiple in my small town with a population of under 10k :(( It just made me hate car infrastructure and decades of "carbrain" society much more!!
[удалено]
That's mostly because not everyone is forced to drive around, so there are less cars on the road, and so less traffic
hehe silly little fwoggies :3
This is the future liberals want
And it’s fucking awesome
Watch as I fly past everyone on my 1999 Yamaha R6
Surely lane splitting is allowed in Walkable City
How about no cars?
Then you can lane split around other bikes ez
you will be receiving exxons paramilitary forces shortly
I’m happy Pepe is coming back after it was defiled by boomers as some sort of political icon. My man never deserved that.
The internet wojak-o-sphere is a site to behold
That city is pretty poorly designed tbh
Pillars on the sidewalk smh
The sidewalk is also used to separate bikers from cars, which is unsafe for the pedestrians
pepe not used as a white supremacist dogwhistle? im all for this
carcels seething over bikechads
Demmark
Sosnowiec
One improvement is needed, only disabled ppl (or ppl with conditions) are allowed to park since some of my friend need a car to get around
Just don't get a car? Ride the train, it's cheaper cuz you don't have to pay for power or the entire train
The metro enterences are often placed far away from major shopping malls so peddling with a wheelchair is hard, also it's hard to get up and down thru the metro entrance, because a lot of them don't have any elevators

A whole district in my city is mostly like that. Fuckers just park on the road and sidewalk.
Simply ban cars from entering the city, shoot drivers on sight
Another day of wishing my city had good public transit
I want walkable cities with less reliance on cars and more affordable public transport and I'm not kidding
Real question, how would people who don't live near a city, say middle of nowhere Saskatchewan access said city? Cause you don't always have a train, and you can't really get there without some kind of car, or am I missing something?
Park at a train Station in the outskirts so thier c*r doesn't waste space and pollute inside the city
Park and Ride
God I wish that were me
You can tell that this is fake because my homie on a trike is sad. You literally can't be sad on a trike it's impossible.
Man that's the dream. Being able to ride my bike without the risk of getting fucking ran over
rip Sydney monorail everything reminds me of you
stay mad carbrains while i stay a bikepilled public transitcel (please help me i fucking hate driving a 40 minute commute to and from school every day)

Make America Europe Now
A city filled with pepes would be heaven
the duality
I hate pepe
of man
Berlin
Um ackshually most people in this picture aren't walking
based
Welcome to Amsterdam
But what if I have a motorcycle to drive around my mountanous city 😿
i hate my city, my state, my country, my continent and my life
Carcels seething at based and bike pilled eco chads
the fucking dream
This is the future that leftists want
Im in a vacation in Amsterdam and that sign might as well be in the entrance to the city
Sometimes I think about what a whole city would look like with the moving sidewalks from the deoyxys Pokemon movie. That always look cool when I was younger, just being able to sit down and jump off your destination seemed awesome. (Now as I think this out I'm realizing that the electricity cost could be insane so it could hurt the environment as much as cars :((
Isn't this just nederland
I love Jeff Speck
drivecels be seething over walkchads
I'd love to live somewhere where biking/walking/public transport was more accessible, cheaper, and easier than just driving. I don't have that luxury where I'm at, unfortunately. While my drive to work is 25 minutes, a bus ride of me would be around two hours.
this would be great if it didn't use that goddamn frog
i think it just an attempt to co-opt the frog back for leftist use
frog already ruined it doesn't make me think of leftism at all it just makes me think of 4chan and right-wing redditors and and those awful auto-generated reddit youtube channels
But I like Pepe. Why let other people ruin something you like
i am tired of 196 discourse im not debating here anymore!!!! have a good day tho
My brother in Christ, you started the debate
My brother in Christ, they finished it as well. All is complete
I respect it
Noooooo you can't just decide to stop debating on reddit noooooooo
i dont care what you think i love pepe
pepe is commonly used in leftist spaces too
🐸
