@piratero @DrTCombs @notjustbikes OFC, and that means enabling more people to #WorkFromHome (which necessitates building #FTTB and #FTTH inevitably!), building #WalkableCities, #BikingInfrastructure and #PublicTransport.

Not to mention that we see #DeliveryServices to get more and more adopted and offered beyond #TakeOut and #Groceries and this will pnly increase as #Retail fails to deliver #AddedValue to justify it's existance for more and more occasions...

@lmorchard I think removing #BikingInfrastructure is just an asshole move and inexcuseable since these people will then be sacrificed at most to #cars if not contribute to #congestion with #CarTraffic if they were to use cars...

It just sounds absurd for me as a German and I'm shure @notjustbikes loves to see people in the #USA appreciate that people don't accept the ongoing #Enshittification for #Stroads...

@davidzipper +9001%

We need #SmallerVehicles everywhere incentives like #WalkableNeighbourhoods, #BikingInfrastructure and useable and #accessible #PublicTransport ain't gonna cut it.

And #scientists have already said so in a study:

#TLDR: #PersonalLightVehicles instead of #SuperUselessVehicles must be normalized!

@jeneralist @etchedpixels @rvaughnmd Granted, what we do need OFC is not only #BikingInfrastructure that is useable all-year around and gets the same maintenance and cleaning as roads - espechally in rural areas - and #PublicTransport everywhere [even if that amounts to a lot of minibuses and on-call taxis but that's still better in terms of efficiency and resources than every household having at least one car on their own that is parked 18-22+ hours a day.]

In Skåne in southern Sweden we have this thing called "supercykelvägar" aka "highway bike paths".

They help connect towns and cities with dedicated and separated bike paths. Instead of commuting to work via car, get an electric bike. Unfortunately this is not a thing everywhere and surprisingly pretty rare in the rest of the world.

Lets spread and make this a thing everywhere!

@dmoser This requires #PublicTransport networks as well as #accessible and #safe #BikingInfrastructure and #WalkableNeighbourhoods...

And as @notjustbikes pointed out:
This even benefits the car and truck drivers, as there's only a finite amount of roads and lanes that can be built.
