At least its not idling in the school parking lot anymore where children are closer to the exhausts and less aware of the risks.

Then we put it in gasoline knowing damn well that the poisionous lead would spew out the exhaust, it took us decades to reverse that decison as well and it only really happened when engine knocking had been resolved.

Why can’t those people park their car on the property they own in the neighborhood instead of the steet?

Free on street parking is not a car lane.

What road/car lane got removed? All I read was parking was removed.

Maybe those old people could still use the cycle lane if they had decades of exercising their muscles and joints on a bike instead of sitting in traffic in a car.

The lane also provides mobility for people too young to drive, unable to afford to drive, or those who prefer not to drive.

Fuck teenagers who want to get around without their parents though right? Fuck the kids who can safely bike to school though right? The old people can still drive, they didn’t rip out the car lane.

If the community didn’t want them, how did the article manage to find people who use them? Did they drive in from another part of town just to use the bike lane?

Because they didn’t have to pay for that land, the city plows and maintains it, the city repaves it, your partner doesn’t complain when your project car leaves oil stains on the curb. So basically entitlement to public land is what they insist on.

The lanes already exist so in reality I would be using the lanes but my previous comment is the overall sentiment I have.

“Everyone drives here” is such a biased reason for no bike lanes and the fact it connects kids to schools should make this a non protestable issue. Are you able to protest a school bus stop because your neighbours have kids but you don’t?

If I were a cyclist in that neighbourhood I would ride my bike through the no bike lanes signs. If you won’t let me have a lane where else do you expect me to cycle?

Ive used mine before because the rad was too big to fit internally.

A big problem IMO is the generational responsibility of the waste as well. There needs to be decades of planning, monitoring and maintaince to ensure waste sites are safe and secure, this can be done but modern political climates can make it difficult.

General rule of thumb I use is try to maintain a following distance that provides enough time to stop if the car in front of me magically stopped dead in its tracks. A car could lose a tire, brake suddenly, roll on its side or many other incidents regardless of emergency automated braking.

Work vans are the superior work vehicle for the majority of use cases. Lower bed/floor height to make loading easier. Covered rear so your tools/product doesnt get wet or dirty. Able to carry a ton of equipment, taller models you can even stand in and use a workbench in the van. The side of the van is large and flat making it easier to print large letters and numbers to advertise the company. Most modern work vans have better visibility than similarly sized trucks.

What agenda is being pushed by a camera angle that makes the truck look 10% bigger? Its still a massive truck and I think it was mostly photographed this way to show the grills and hoods of both vehicles, not to embelish the size.

I watched a guy load bags of soil from the hardware store into the back seats of the crew cab while he had an empty bed. The bed would have been easier to load and could easily be hosed down if a bag leaked. I guess he forgot it was also a truck and not just a luxury commuter car.

Would it have been possible to pay a crew to clean up the fruits?

I get by fine with a 2wd car. Unless you are rural you can usually manage unless weather is bad enough to justify canceling your work/plans. Winter tires are defintely a must but you don’t absolutely need 4x4.

Part of the problem people have with these large trucks is many of them rarely carry more cargo than the cargo capacity of a sedan. Is the extra fuel, maintaince, bigger tires and upfront cost really worth it to move 2 or 3 over sized items a year?

We get if you are hauling trailers, equipment or tools frequently but many people buy these trucks just so they can commute to an office job or other job that doesn’t require that power or capacity.

That will only work if the teacher accompanies the videos with critical thinking skills including fact checking using multiple sources and asking “who stands to profit from these messages?”

What animals are being killed to harvest vegetables?
