You'd think white car would be a fan of separated bike lanes...

This sub is pointless until it can provide a solution to having to get somewhere 30 miles from here when it's 10 below outside for most of the winter.
Dont give me that it's not always 10 below excuse. It is often 10 below or lower for long stretches in the north. Biking is simply not viable or practical.
Look at this example. Looks like it's 80 and sunny with the top down on a convertible and everyone in summer clothes.
Everyone doesn't live in Arizona, kar Karen.
Public transport? Or cars. Some people on here may be militant about getting rid of all cars, but most of us aren't that extreme. We simply want to have the option to not use cars, which is currently not the case in many regions of the world.
There is no public transport that is even remotely able to serve the rural population.
You always have the option to not use a car if weather permits no one is stopping you. Your last statement is simply not true.
Local city councils and state reps you vote for make those laws and rules. Get it funded then we'll talk.
Convincing people to vote to get it funded is literally the point of posts like this. It's called grassroots outreach.
It's a fucking meme. Not a campaign. Get a clue.
This does nothing to further the cause.
Talking about the problem is literally the only way to further the cause. Change starts with a dialog. We're not going to "get the laws passed and THEN talk about it", that's backwards.
