@the_transit_guy That sounds brutal. I walked into my local Shoppers Drug Mart last October during one of their spend 250k points, get $400 of stuff and picked up a set of AirPod 4’s with noise cancellation for free. You might spend a little more on food, but it’s easy to earn pts fast.
@Dio76Bri76@PhilSustainable Statements & attitude like this are the perfect example of why Florida’s Brightline high speed rail is failing so spectacularly.
The train while valuable doesn’t take anyone anywhere valuable nor is it connected via good cycling infrastructure to anywhere people want to go.
@MarkSharon_DP@francesca_kms The concepts of people riding to a bike lock in a central location and walking around to the shops they need or combining a bicycle with a bus / train to extend its range must just absolutely short circuit your brain 😬
@JoseManuBelloso@francesca_kms Some people get up 5 min earlier, some an hour, some work a sweat and take a shower at the office, some ride e-bikes, some do bike&bus/train; there are so many options out there. All you anti cyclist clowns do these days is copy & paste canned statements and they’re so weak.
@CancellationCh1@RVA_DOT@ErikBootsma@MomentumMag The original post and your response that bike lanes don’t benefit everyone, only your specific group of people. You literally applied your “logic” to all times of day and all bicycle paths in all cities:
@CancellationCh1@RVA_DOT@ErikBootsma@MomentumMag Syour point of reference is a single time slot of the whole day on a couple of different cycle ways in your city, and you assume all the cyclists are wealthy; ok and? How could any sensible person take this and apply it to all cities, all times of day, around the world?
@CancellationCh1@RVA_DOT@ErikBootsma@MomentumMag So because “you know” men who own vehicles but ride to work, you’ve concluded that bike lanes can’t possibly benefit any other demographic including old people… but also you do see them but they don’t use bike lane… I don’t think you know what you believe:
@WayneMathison@RVA_DOT@MomentumMag “Stop calling trade-off a universal benefit” says guy calling trade-off as a universal loss.
The part about small business paying the price is interesting considering there is no evidence to back it up.
@CancellationCh1@RVA_DOT@ErikBootsma@MomentumMag You know what’s always made me laugh about people like you is you notice how cyclists often appear to be in a better financial state then many drivers, but you’ve never made the connection of where that extra disposable income comes from… spoiler: cars cost big $ after buying😆
@Alpa54933998@NotizieFrance Why are people like you so perplexed by anyone commuting by bike in the winter, yet if they were skiers or snowboarders you wouldn’t give them a second thought?
Did you think for some reason that winter clothes don’t work on bicycles?
@VanIAm1776@MomentumMag Not all Canadians are broke, many of us who decided years ago that we’d rather spend our hard earned cash on important things like bills, mortgage, groceries, savings, and maybe even a college fund for our kids are doing fine despite the circumstances, and people are noticing why
@climbtechy@Bikery1966 Yes that’s what he’s saying. The whole idea is no longer being forced to use a car to accomplish your weekly tasks if you don’t want to.
Hard as it is to believe, having the option to spend close to $0 a month getting to/from the grocery store instead of $30+ is a good thing. 😯
@MaxParkin3@DrHoenderkamp So you’re saying zoning laws to give city planners and developers more flexibility on what can be built where shouldn’t be allowed because… they don’t exist now??
You’re not making any sense and i think it’s because you have no clue what a 15 minute city concept is.
@MaxParkin3@DrHoenderkamp Two carriage homes and a recently completed 4 story condo complex. There would be more but my city hasn’t changed much zoning yet.
What about it?
@MaxParkin3@DrHoenderkamp How does allowing, schools, health, and services to be available within 15 min of their home prevent construction workers or anyone else from finding jobs?
@turtleturtlebee @Itwasmeaustin3@jen_keesmaat Yes as they should, and families living in and around DT Toronto (especially near or soon to be established infrastructure) should be able to do exactly the same thing if they want to.
@turtleturtlebee @jen_keesmaat Families should have the option to lower their transport costs and spend disposable income on bills & college fund. Cargo bikes can easily accommodate hockey bags and kids. 100’s of millions around the world use bikes for transport. Copenhagen use to be a car infested hell hole.
