Buy a polluting gas guzzler today and we'll give you €500 to fly somewhere on holiday. Spread the joy of fossil fuels far and wide.
Fun for the kids as well: colour in this picture of a huge #wankpanzer of the kind that is particularly good at killing kids and if you're lucky you might win tickets to be driven to a adventure park.
Technically you have to put your toe in with the sharks for this to have been a violation on the #drivers' part. Pedestrians are also technically within their rights to signal their intent to cross by deploying a spike strip ("including but not limited to cane, crutch or bicycle.")
People who honk at other #drivers need to realize that they are not doling out justice, just being rude to everyone around them, like loudly farting in an elevator but intentionally. Maybe if they got a ticket in the mail for $165 (ORS 815.225)
And the driver who ran the red from the right, is making a u-turn here to turn right because she's skipping the left-turn queue onto Barbur from Terwilliger northbound / freeway offramp. 🙃 #InducedDemand
Philadelphia: Activists partied to stop cars from parking in bike lanes
This story is depressing for its implicit assumption that churchgoers have no way to attend church if they don't drive cars. Sure, "Some are elderly with mobility challenges while others are young families" but that implies that some are not. Can they carpool? Take the bus? Ride bikes?
This block of Taylors Ferry between Virginia and LaView was supposed to have a protected bike lane years ago. Why is this stuff so slow to get onto the ground? #SWTFpdx#pdxBikes#Vision60or70something
Driving to Isolation: Why Churches in American Struggle to Answer the Loneliness Epidemic
"The biggest enemy of connection, inside and outside the church, is not the Internet, or politics, or lack of opportunities to gather, give, and grow. That title belongs to one uniquely Western cultural force, one that we’re so accustomed to swimming in that we’ve forgotten we’re even in it: car-dependent sprawl."
@benfulton Heh. The church I grew up going to used to have some houses next door to the church that they owned and would let poor people stay in for free while they were putting their lives back together.
A few years ago they knocked down these houses to expand the church’s parking lot… 🤦

I was referring to the song. I think I saw part of a video clip when hanging with my grandkids a few years back. Obviously, the idea stuck. And I tend to be an associator.
The car #traffic that came into view as I crested a hill on my morning commute was a sharp contrast to the surroundings of the pleasant #greenway I had been on.
#Cars--and the way we bend over backwards to cater to them--really do ruin everything.
