      I’m going to lose my lifetime, literally, by biking a total of 80+ km to work and back. And public transportation takes 2+ hrs one way.

        No, lose it making money to maintain and feed the car ( how many working hours a year that is?) and sitting in a car for an hour in one direction. Correct time of commuting is time spent in traffic + time spent to earn the money for fuel. If you bikemute, you can actually consider a part of that time as free gym.

      You have no idea how ableist you’re being right now.

      Even ignoring the jab at diabetics, what about other disabled people? Not everyone can just get on a bike.

        It’s always so funny when car brains suddenly discover their heart for disabled people when they desperately reach for arguments against non car centric traffic planning. If you’re genuinely concerned about disabled people and those who can’t drive for other reasons (poverty springs to mind) you should advocate for transport options besides cars.

          I am a disabled person and I vote for transportation levies and taxes every time they come up, but nice trying to pretend that I’m a car brain just because I happen to need one.

          Once again, ableism. Don’t assume everybody is not disabled just because you don’t see them in a wheelchair.

            You’re a car brain because you jump from “we should build more bike lanes” to “they want to ban cars”. Nobody is saying that.

          This is viciously insulting. What the hell are you talking about “suddenly discover their heart”. What do you know about my heart?

          You really think the only people to disagree with you are ice cold monsters? That’s a crazy way to see this scenario: you versus the cold blooded shade demons who don’t like being forced to change their lives.
