>driving is a privilege, not a right Honestly, fuck the government for this, anons. Imagine designing a society in which every form of infrastructure is built up around cars - not even motorcycles or scooters, but just cars, and then pretending that "dude just use public transport.">most places (especially suburbs) don't have bike roads >car roads take up 3/4 of every square foot of the outdoors aside from nature and parks >average wage-slave literally HAS to commute at least an hour, because of the way suburbs became housing prisons and cities became wage-slavery centrals, separating home from work (contrary to pre-industrial approaches to workplaces and houses being near each other) >if you want freedom of mobility, you will either pay a fucking huge amount of money for insurance every month, even on a tiny vehicle, or you will be shoved into a smelly human sardine can (public transport) The government has cucked the average cyclist, the railways, literally every form of transport other than the car, and then cucked car ownership - and now claims that you can supposedly live without a vehicle AND that the freedom to mobility isn't a right. It's fucking insane.

>>1674101 >jelly that your death won't be 1% as awesome as that guy's was Oh. So THAT's the point of driving a car; to die in a spectacular as possible fashion. I never knew.
If that's the goal then I wonder if I wouldn't be better served by a motorcycle. In any case I don't see why I should work hard to get a car for committing suicide in when I could just steal one. There are cars to steal littered around everywhere.

>>1674106 Cars are way harder to steal than bikes, and unlike your child's toy the cops actually care when it happens.

Phoenix AZ here. Everything here is built around cars and when we build one little bike path NIMBYs lose their shit.

>>1674112 >Cars are way harder to steal than bikes Sure, but it's still easier to google how to steal a car than to work harder to afford buying one.
>cops actually care when it happens Excellent! That will make my death even more spectacular. Maybe it will even be televised.

Yes it’s part of the bait and switch the government pulls on Americans and they do it subtly enough that most Americans don’t notice. That’s why many Americans are under the delusion that cars are more individualist than rail.

>>1674076 >Make a well structured argument >Make it about cyclists instead of the car owners about to lose their rights Nobody cares about cyclists. Not even cyclists themselves, or they’d buy a banger car and use that to get to work. Your whole post falls flat, wasted on a diatribe for fucking bicycles.

>>1674195 I've never heard that. Most bicycle lanes I've seen are either standard for new and reconstructed roads, or hastily repainted lanes that serve as de facto gutters when rains come.
Bike infrastructure in the U.S. will always be a mess because European countries that have dedicated bicycle infrastructure generally don't have psychos that take any option because it's most convenient.
