Water usage is probably my biggest. Living in a high desert, my wife and MIL see no problem with filling one side of the sink with hot soapy water to wash a few dishes because “that’s just how I’ve always done it”, to watering the grass and plants for hours. All of this makes me mental.
Bike lanes suck and bikes should be on the sidewalk.
No way. Alternative:
Streets should be one lane maximum, 1 lame only. The rest of the space should be divided for trees, bikes, and people.
Fuck cars.
I’m ready to fight bikes that are on the side walk. Kids are allowed but fuck the adults riding there.
Sidewalks should be wide enough for both a bike and a pedestrian lane to fit in safely, ideally with some paving protection for the pedestrians. Bikes in the car traffic are dangerous.
Bringing new regulations to old infrastructure always makes a sacrifices.
Younger kids and adults with those kids are fine, I’m happy to let them pass.
I’ve never seen an adult riding on the sidewalk alone where I live.
Teens riding those electric scooters while staring at their phones, OTH… I mean, of course I get out the way, because I don’t want to get hit, but I have the intrusive thought of pushing them over when they pass.
Growing up in a small town, this is exactly what we did. I was absolutely shocked to learn that people ride bikes ON THE ROAD! Right next to the big metal death machines!! 😱
I see why bikes on the road make sense for high density areas… but it sure seems weird in smaller towns.
