Urban Truth CollectiveRemember, don’t buy a cow, or a car, and expect your city to give you someplace to park it. #UrbanTruth
Torparskytt 🏴@urbantruth.bsky.social But can you expect your city to give you a place to ride your bicycle if you buy one?
Victor Villas@w @urbantruth.bsky.social lol obv not, we should expect bike lanes because the city has a duty to reduce traffic related injuries, so everyone should expect that regardless of owning a bicycle
Why even try an analogy between safety and vehicle storage? The parallel would be bicycle parking
@villasbc Both require space in the city to be usable. Anyway I guess most don’t really expect car parking from the city, but probably from stores etc they wish to visit
@w People absolutely do expect the city to maintain car parking, thats the whole point of the post. But while a city does indeed need to provide transportation lanes, it does not need to provide parking. Separated bike lanes are important for safety if there are too many cars, but it mostly depends on road design; there are other ways to increase safety too
