The "fluff" of the article answers your questions quite well, imo: 1. The location is either unsafe or the route to get there is 2. The location would be a pilgrimage site and therefore at risk of being destroyed

Come on. We all know the playbook: 1. Hide useful feature behind a hidden menu. 2. Remove feature for lack of use. 3. Claim to be responsive to users. A default setting plus an option behind a right-click menu is basically a mark of death.

Don't disagree with anything you said, but do take issue with the stat equating 1 mile of bike distance with 1 mile of automobile distance. Surely the stat should be normalized on a "per commute" basis. At the very least thro

Also, truck tires are also much larger (than an average passenger car) and have a larger contact area. Passenger off-road vehicles with knobby tires might be harder on roads too in a different way than weight.
