I'm glad that you behave like this; many don't respect those basic rules, especially with kids.

A stroller goes at 3km/h, I'm pretty sure that a collision with a wall at this speed is pretty innocuous. How about a cargo bike at 20km/h? I can twist my foot while jumping on the ground, however I wouldn't say that bas

I don't see why cars should have the precedence over bikes since cyclists behave just like them. Cars respect traffic lights and don't drive on the sidewalk. Bikes don't.

Because many people don't. The sheer amount of cyclist that don't respect red lights and run through pedestrians crossing demonstrate this. I could film a busy crossing where I live and catch an infringement in less than 5 minutes

Honk Kong, Taipei, Beijing or Tokyo have top notch subways, but people there are very respectful and organised, which is quite different than Europe or the US, for instance . Also, they built their network very late, and weren't const

You're implying that everyone should live in a densely urban zone? I grew up in the alps, and spent a reasonable amount of my teens waiting for the bus (1 every 2h) to go in town. Cars are decentralized means of transportation that, in

Amsterdam NL is an outlier as the city is extremely flat and and built around bikes, with a very low amount of cars (and very expensive real estate also as a consequence) and a high density of shops. Not sure it can be transposed elsewhere?

I'm very happy for you that you took this risk. - Did you drive on the sidewalk? If yes, you basically transfered the risk to other walkers. - How is the infrastructure? In many countries you'll see potholes for instance. - In cas

I support bicycle lanes, but I believe that riding on the sidewalk is a very dangerous behavior that should be punished handsomely. It happens in many cities, and those are the ones where bike riders are the most respectful usually. Ask any

Cargo e-bikes are dangerous for children. Urban infrastructure is not pristine and contains risks even without cars. In Estonia for instance they don't salt the streets in winter. In Paris you have random public works stuff that were f

The problem is that even in streets with no risk for bikes (on way, low speed limit), bikes ride the sidewalk. And why would bikes have the priority over walkers, endangering them in the process? The weakest has the priority. You're ok

Please show me a crash test for a cargo bike with a baby in it.

Cargo ebikes are very dangerous for kids, and you can't sit a 0-3 year old in it. It can't be used in winter. Aside from this, in many european cities, it will get stolen if you leave it in the street a bit too long. Main problem

I enjoy dense and quality mass transportation, which is often faster and cheaper in large cities. However, the trigger that made me buying a car was to start having kids. Between groceries, medical visits and leisure, it started to be very,

I went to a pediatrician near where I lived. Long story short, she was very toxic, making ultimatums and giving what was revealed as dubious practice. I consulted other similar pediatricians, who all gave me radically different answers than

Thanks, but the poor are not necessarily drug abusers. Drug abusers may fall into poverty, but not the way around. There's a wealth of drug abuse in rich societies - the fact that SF, one of the richest city on the earth, became a drug

It was the case in Weimar Germany, as a result drug use and antisocial behavior exploded.

How about firearms? US Constitution said you had the right to own one, so the law should be the same for muskets and RPGs? I know it's an ongoing debate in the US ;-) Also, Bitcoin was made to be an alternative to cash, not an alternat

Knowing well Latin makes it easier to learn new languages that inherit from it, both on the vocab side and the grammar side. French doesn't really have declinations, for instance. My wife studied it extensively during her studies, and

What's great with this is that you can spy on your political opposition, and jail any dissident trying to raise funds for their cause. China is already doing it in Hong Kong: https://www.coindesk.com/markets/2019&#

Sure, you can be a vegetarian. However, an omnivore diet is superior for the reasons I exposed. Interestingly, India, the country where vegetarianism/Veganism is the most widespread, has almost no high-performance athletes, and has pro
