Come si batte il traffico? Lo spiega il video di @notjustbikes
L'unico modo di battere il traffico è dare valide alternative all'#auto. Ovvero, essendo il traffico generato dalle auto, meno auto = meno traffico.
Per chi vuole ascoltare i concetti di domanda indotta, domanda latente, evaporazione del traffico e capire come mai si continuano a fare gli stessi errori, ecco il nuovo video di #notjustbikes, con la consueta qualità e ironia.
#NotJustBikes hat ein schönes Video über Montreal. Deutschland könnte davon sehr viel lernen. Auch darin wer entscheidet wie Straßen in einem Stadtteil genutzt werden sollen. #autokorrektur
Would you like a short thread on a weird internal conflict I have regarding a fairly widespread issue Hyundai/Kia E-GMP cars are having?
That question was rhetorical. Strap in.
OK, so my car can (in theory) charge at 48 amps. With our Freedom voltage, that's 11.5 kW. A fair number of owners are having problems charging at this speed because the charge inlet overheats.
Now, initially, Hyundai had a very stupid strategy for this occurrence: stop charging entirely. That was awful.
@notjustbikes In case you wondered what car ownership really costs (in Canada), somebody did the math for his own car over 7 years (which he got for $500 Canadian).
Hint: It's a LOT (and he didn't even had that many repairs with his car). 😮
@notjustbikes This is super interesting podcast because it's much more focused on Lived Experience. Instead of talking about good transit and infrastructure, from an engineering perspective, talking about what it’s like to experience good and bad transit and how it makes us feel, makes for more powerful and emotionally appealing stories.
I think we need to talk more about the constant fear, the anger and the stress that car centric cities create. How we feel looked down on as cyclists and pedestrians in these cities. And how liberating and happy we feel to be in cities that aren’t dominated by cars and have good transit choices.
I guess this is why I enjoy The Arrested Mobility Podcast and why I have great empathy with the people featured in the episodes.
Since North America is poorly designed, it isn’t a good thing. If North America was better designed then biking and walking would be safer. #NotJustBikes
OK this has to be one of my favourite #NotJustBikes videos yet.
It articulates so well what I've been feeling in North American cities. And the mental map stuff at the end? Made me realize THAT was why I felt disoriented when I first moved to NA!! Sure "it's a grid", and "it's easy", but... there's no #places!! 🤯
Alright #bicycle commuters of the #Fediverse , what do you use to plan your routes through cities that may not be the most bike friendly? Trying to find the best bike commute route for me #transit#notjustbikes#bikecommute
I keep thinking back to this Microlino at Fully Charged Live. Reusable water bottles became acceptable, being vegan is now cool, and so is wearing vintage clothes. So who is going to step up to the critical task of making small cars fashionable? The trend towards giant SUVs is ludicrous, incredibly wasteful and dangerous, and bad for our cities. If you must use a car, it should be as small as possible. Where are the micro-car visionaries/influencers? WE NEED YOU. #cars#SUV#climate
What must come hand in hand is infrastructure and regulations that are friendly for smaller vehicles. The large dangerous trucks should be heavily taxed to discourage their use, not get subsidies. This unfortunately isn't the case in many places of the world.
When the majority of drivers choose to drive ridiculously large vehicles it also forces others to get larger ones just for their own safety. Even if they would otherwise drive smaller vehicles.
daughter keeps asking how many bikes I have now and I try to count but we lose track somewhere in the debate about how to count scooters or trikes or the pedalflow, trailer bike, unicycle... 😂
