The fact that the only way for 2 people to move around in public side by side and hold a conversation is usually when you're sitting in a car.
Sidewalks and bike paths are too narrow for it or full of parked cars in cities, and non-existant in rural areas.
Holy shit this one is so real. Meanwhile they're adding another 2 lanes to Main Street for the cars....
I live in a rural area that’s a popular tourist destination for people from big cities.
In the summer it drives me absolutely bonkers when the tourists come with their bikes/rent bikes…and ride in groups up to 5-wide, around blind corners etc. We don’t have shoulders, and if we’re do they’re rarely maintained.
