Benjamin RossPeople who say "not everyone can ride a bicycle" don't seem to care all that much when you say "not everyone can drive a car."
schlaf@BenRossTransit also no solidarity with those that can not *afford* cars. vae victis in the road war! if you can't get a car, you don't deserve mobility.
Virginia S. O'Possum@schlaf @BenRossTransit I don't think that's true. I think it's a metonym -- we need to think about *all* forms of mobility and barriers to it. And TBF, there are some pro-bike people who are really quite dismissive of other mobility needs. Better public transportation could do a lot.
dragonfrog@VirginiaSOpossum @schlaf @BenRossTransit they say the best transportation plan is a good land use plan - having more stuff closer together, not separated by vast roads and parking lots and highways with few crossable intersections, means all forms of transportation work better. More stuff is in any given person's ability-determined walking or cycling distance, transit has the density it needs to work...
