   @aehdeschaine @Jackiemauro @lzg once I was talking about how I, a fuck cars person, is finally getting my DL at 40 years old coz I live here now and this is my reality and also I want to be able to get around in the apocalypse

   And a few of those types were arguing with me that a bicycle will be better in the apocalypse

   I mean, I agree; but also wtf

     @Jackiemauro @lzg This says it so succinctly. I've had to mute some phrases on here that I *am value-aligned with* because it was the only way to keep the insufferable evangelists from becoming overwhelming. Not great.

     @lzg Our local bike advocacy group has a whole program on pedestrian safety and tries to promote safer streets all around. I think this is the way to do it, recognize that with unsafe driving everyone loses, especially bikers and walkers. (I was a huge walker who moved to biking but I know it’s not for everyone.)

     @skinnylatte @Jackiemauro @lzg It's so funny, because it's not like you won't use the more-useful bike in said apocalypse! Until that time, or actual change happens, car reality is car reality.

     I had to mute a number of people from Amsterdam pretty early on here... Shouting from a very bike-friendly country doesn't improve my country's transit situation 🤷♀️

     @lzg I see you and am a fellow walker/transit rider, as well as cyclist! Car-dominant infrastructure is our common enemy. 🤝💥
