If they’re going to make people ride bikes and scooters in traffic, then it should at LEAST be legal to do the Snow Crash thing where you use a hook-shot-style harpoon to catch free rides from cars.

I’m so happy this is becoming more mainstream. Huge props to people like NotJustBikes for such effective propagandizing.

It was something I never could put words to until NJB showed up. I had already moved to NYC to get away from the burbs and driving.

And then I took the orange pill.

Yep. The combination of moving to New York City and reading “death and life of great American cities” really pushed me into being anti car culture. That and looking back at growing up in the suburbs where I couldn’t do anything without a car. Age like 10-17 sucked. I was so jealous of the kids that lived in the city and could go out and do things.

Why do we insist on putting the bike, car and pedestrian main pathways on the same corridor?

Split them up.
