Will Bengaluru Traffic Police, who have now proposed additional 25 flyovers to ease congestion, please share with public how much private vehicles will reduce on our roads? How much mode shift will happen - as it’s the only way to reduce congestion? https://t.co/WKbU40YWsD
I bought a Dutch style bike today and rode one for the first time. You know, what they call a ladies bike in India, one on which you sit upright.
It is incredible how comfy it is and how little effort it takes to ride.
Bikes where you sit hunched over are total crap
@belifenomind@Cockroach4India It depends on the bike
Just google Dutch style bike
Ignorantly called a ladies bike in india
If you ride it once, you will undertand that it uses much less energy and is much more comfy
Europeans also cycle in rain and freezing cold
@BoucherBur45960@Boenau I have a theory.
I think most Americans have never ridden a dutch style bike where you sit upright.
'Cause if they did, they'd know that it's a breeze, and so much fun, and that regukar bikes are for masochists
@MaCgroupUK@AmericanFietser Are most people in UK riding bikes where you sit hunched over? In short, American style bikes?
Dutch style bikes are so much more comfortable and low effort that you'll ride one in any weather
@AmericanFietser This is how it should be
I bought a dutch style bike today and rode one for the first time
It is incredible how crap all the other bikes. On a dutch style bike, commuting is a breeze
It's just that most Americans or Indians don't know that
Sometimes I feel India got too involved in ideological debates before getting basic governance right. Too many things just don't work. And it's not a scarcity etc reason where ideology plays a role but pure lack of professionalism and application of mind
@ayusshsanghi Delhi metro is so good now
If Delhi gets few thousand more buses and these are deployed well, it'll become incomparable to any city in India
@BoucherBur45960@Boenau Also, <16 year olds as a percentage of the total population in USA
1966 - 32.5 %
2026 - 18.7 %
People are not having kids because they are busy paying for and driving around their 2 ton tanks
Sad times for humanity
