@lanodan I saw the surveillance issues coming 20 years
ago, when the bank remotely repossessed my girlfriend's car because she
had missed some payments. They literally locked her out of it using
a satellite transponder. We can't trust capitalists and authoritarians
of any stripe with digital tech.

Bikes are cool and we need more of them on the streets. But not all
of us can ride. Walkable cities FTW. Though I don't see why
bike-friendly cities wouldn't be foot friendly. And for the people
who say, "not everyone can walk", a city without cars is also friendly
to personal mobility devices of all sorts.
