In order to have lost patience with those, I would have had to have had patience for them at some point in the past.

Don't worry; it's only temporary. In a few years the AMOC will collapse and the UK will be plunged into an ice age instead.

This feels like it's purposefully designed to kneecap the adoption of e-bikes by rendering all class 1 and 2 e-bikes illegal and making it harder/more expensive to buy new ones because they have to have bespoke detuning for the NYC market.

They do improve it, but it's a marginal gain, as opposed to the big transformational win for the environment that comes from switching to a different transportation mode.

Idolatry.

Can any city enter? If so, I like Atlanta's chances.

My neighborhood is better because it has brick oven pizzerias and craft breweries.

I'm in Atlanta.

Some people hate driving but still can't see anything wrong with this excessive car culture.

To support your point:

According to this, that might be as high as almost 1/3 of drivers. To be fair I guessed it would be higher before I looked it up, but that's still a lot.

And most importantly, it's a much higher percentage than the percentage of the population the zoning code allows to live in multifamily housing (which can be as low as 10% in some metro areas), which I'm using as a proxy for walkable communities even though they don't necessarily line up perfectly.

Point is, in a lot of cases the law requires constructing the built environment in a way that forces people to drive even when they don't want to.

The key point to remember is that 80% of the US population is urban. The other 20% are totally justified in having a car-centric lifestyle, but they're also a relatively negligible percentage and thus not part of the problem to begin with.

It's all the folks in the suburbs who like to pretend they're rural when they're not who are the bulk of the problem.

Idaho stop is great—all jurisdictions ought to have it—but until yours does, doing it still counts as a violation. 😕

Quit resigning and start disobeying, you cowards!

Remember the part where it took basically ecoterrorism to get the point across?
