ntzm, in It's time to replace urban delivery vans

Erm how am I meant to take my grandma to hospital and also drop off three fridges and my kids to school and then an entire building’s worth of bricks? Therefore cargo bikes will never work in any situation. I am very smart.

elouboub, in European governments shrinking railways in favour of road-building, report finds

Vote for right wingers and this is what you get.

Drinvictus, in Dodge RAM driver kills a cyclist. Media calls it a "bike crash".

https://discuss.tchncs.de/pictrs/image/64c42dd4-cd39-4a7d-8041-a66d5c6e0002.jpeg

Here is a Google image of Dodge ram 3500. EVEN IF YOU NEED A CAR, NO ONE NEEDS A VEHICLE THIS BIG.

renlok,

But how else can you ensure a 100% fatality rate of everything you run over.

pgetsos, in Shouldn't we be switching buses with light railway?
@pgetsos@kbin.social avatar

Light rail/trams are better especially for avenues etc. But busses are more flexible, and you usually need a combination of both for best results

bob_lemon, in China's new high-speed train just set a new record as the world’s fastest — and it could travel faster than an airplane

On a recent test run, the train sprinted to record-breaking speeds of 281 miles per hour, making it the fastest train in the world.

That’s not even close to the current record, which is 375 mph: en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Railway_speed_record

Once completed, engineers hope the maglev will reach 621 mph

Yeah, that’s a big “if” right there.

I’m all for high speed rail and I hope they succeed, but this article is terrible.

homoludens, in There's 3000 cars on fire in the North Sea

The ship is expected to keep burning for weeks.

Actually, it might also sink and release up to 2,000 tons of heavy fuel oil (plus molten plastic, metals etc.) to the Wadden Sea which is on the UNESCO World Heritage List as an important biosphere reserve.

Nice! Good to know!

Yerbouti, in I laugh at the Ford every time I see it. Today i got at chance to park next to it and the the size difference is comically large.

The F150 was the most sold car in the US last year. I’ve never seen so much of those in Montreal CA in over 20 years. We.are.doomed.

I can't take cars like this seriously, I just assume whoever drives them is a total piece of shit

queermunist, in When your city implements confusing cycling infrastructure
@queermunist@lemmy.ml avatar

My favorite is when they put the bike lane in the middle of the street between the right and left vehicle traffic lanes. I feel so safe with murder machines on both sides of me!

Oh dang I bike that on the regular. It sucks!

bdonvr,

You read the sign, someone’s gotta take one for the team

Wolf,

Godspeed brother

arandomthought, in When your city implements confusing cycling infrastructure

Love how professionally this was made. Not just a printout but an actual sign.

LarmyOfLone, in A ubiquitous tire rubber–derived chemical induces acute mortality in coho salmon

Well, shit. Presumably this is also in bicycle tires? Can it be replaced with non-toxic alternatives?

LarmyOfLone, in Ministers prioritised driving in England partly due to conspiracy theories

Absolutely insane. We have serious dysfunction in our civilization that great concepts like this 15min city is being poisoned by social media with the help of algorithms trying to optimize for profit. This is the real conspiracy, that our systems of power are utterly rudderless and irrational.

SubArcticTundra, in Prague urban planning (via Adam Something)
@SubArcticTundra@lemmy.ml avatar

I think Prague was just not destined to be a bike city. Even if the bike lanes were perfect, You’ve still got a ton of hills in all directions
