Oh my god, the pushback in every single article that even mentions bicycles are so predictable.
As soon as one straw man argument is adressed, it's changed to the next one.
- First, But what if you need to move a sofa, or are disabled??
- Then, but what if you have 20 miles to your job, and 20 miles in the opposite direction for groceries??
- But what if you have four kids?
- What if it rains sometimes?
- What if you live in Sahara or north of the Polar circle?
- What if your e-bike gets stolen?
Next Up: what if someone gets offended by seing a bicycle?
- dang 6y agoPlease don't repeat flamewar tropes, even if other comments are also repeating them. It just contributes to the tedious repetition. The drivers-vs-cyclists flamewar is one of the nastiest and most repetitive that we ever see. The only solution to bad comments is some weighted average of (a) adding more good comments and (b) not adding more bad comments. https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html
