I'm not saying to ban cars, just to de-prioritize them The use case for bicycle-and-similars is way more than the use case for cars specially urban places (also outside urban places)

Cars are the most age discriminatory mode of transport of all: only 18+ and not too old can use it, and most disabled cannot use it. A Bicycles work to all ages, all abilities. In your case an ebike, trike (etrike?) or even mobility scooter

Would ion engines leave a trace in space signaling alien civilizations our location? We are risking being annihilated by a dark forest strike. Ok, a bit sci-fi but I had to say it.

Cycle infrastructure needs to be continuous, feel safe to ride, and exist where people actually go to, not near the riverside. Build them and they will come. Cycle infra is not only cycle lanes. Cycle lanes are needed only where cars move f

> it is better to cry in a Mercedes than on a bike Do you perceive bicycle as a poor man's mode of transport? Rich countries is where everyone can travel by public transport or bicycle (or car). Poor countries is where everyone HAS

Good intention but car-centric infra is the worst example we can give to our children. You should teach how to build those streets for people first, bicycles second, public transportation third, cars last. Build for people not for machines.

Beg buttons (aka crosswalk buttons) in pedestrian-heavy areas should be green to pedestrians, red to drivers by default. Drivers should roll the windows down, and press the beg button and wait for their turn. Cities are for people first, no
