God how old is this?
So old that from the money you can now buy a bike
Electric bike > Car
That greatly depends on where you live.
Not really. I live in Northern British Columbia and there are people riding their bikes in all weather. Ebikes have a temperature limit, but you can get winter tires for your bicycle. Unless you drive for a living, it’s perfectly reasonable.
I’m talking about rural vs suburban vs urban, not climate.
Fair enough, but if only rural people drove and everyone else walked, rode bike or transit in town it would make a huge difference.
The great majority of people live in places where an electric bike would be good enough.
It does depend. I live maybe 5 miles from the closest dollar general and maybe 15 from the closest town.
I live 40 miles from work. They don’t have showers are you suggesting I cycle 40 miles in the British rain?
Read my other comments in this thread and you’d see the answer is clearly no, I am not suggesting that. It’s almost like you intentionally ignored the fact that I already addressed rural commuters and attacked an earlier comment to avoid that I had.
It’s almost like you intentionally ignored…
Yeah I did, because I didn’t know I was expected to read every other interaction you’ve had in this thread before I could comment.
Obviously I’m not supposed to do that!!
It’s -20 right now so I’ll stick with my car for winters
Meanwhile, in Finland: https://youtu.be/Uhx-26GfCBU
Not just Finland. I see people on their bikes in -40°C in Canada. People just need reasons to not let go of their cars so they feel better about using 5 people worth of space and fuel to get to and from work.
You’re really telling me you ride your bike to and from work in -40c regularly? How far do you commute daily? Why do you feel justified in acting so superior to others?
I walk because I can’t ride a bike and if I can’t walk because it is too icy, I transit 5 kms. But I don’t think myself superior, I used to be a car brain too. I bought in to the needing a car hype and that owning a car was freedom. I’m so much more free and stable now without car payments, insurance, car maintenance, outrageous fuel prices and cops following me just for driving 🤷♀️
🤘 fuck cars.
I don’t know how to link communities cause I’m old and stupid, but there is a fuck cars and a micromobility community.
There should be a ban on screenshotted posts with the date & time cut off.
I bet if you really cared tineye could find a noncropped version if one exists. I use it to find “OG” versions of memes without the “shitty twitter joke” picture frames.
It made its way to Nigeria 4 years ago
At least a decade plus.

Honestly sad, someone supporting their SO in a lovely way being trashed.
That’s not what this is, unfortunately.
Lots of people are unhappy and want others to be unhappy as them.
Just don’t hold it over his head if anything were to ever happen.
Good point, cars are really heavy.
I plan on doing this for my son when he is ready to save for a car.
To really help him, vote in a direction where not every single human being needs to own a car. This is just silly.
Fuck off. All you people are doing by showing up in every post mentioning cars is turning people away from your cause.
Don’t be like those holier then thou vegans that everyone hates.

Ah, so you’re just a troll.
Then also move to where you don’t need a car?

Yeah fuck me for saving 2 extra hours of commute EVERY DAY.

Sure, there’s many places that have robust public transit that isn’t an urban center.
Depends on where you live. Where I live, there are many places with good public transportation. And many many people who own two or more cars/family.
So you’re telling me that farmers working on their own ranch/farm quite far away from modern mass transit infrastructure shouldn’t have their own mode of transportation?

God damn you anti car people are everywhere. Do they make a spray to repel you people?
New car smell?
Fuck off. All you people are doing by showing up in every post mentioning cars is turning people away from your cause.

I’m anti-car, but I’m seriously baffled by all of those “fuck cars” under a post that is absolutely not about car itself

Well, have fun making everyone hate the anti-car movement.

What, you’re just going to give him five grand? I’m not sure I understand.
To be fair, when this post was new (back in the 18th century) 5 grand would buy you a new house.
And she couldn’t even work a paid job, this mean she has to hustle and make every penny his husband gave her for groceries last to save that money that make this even more impressive.
imagine spending a tenth the money on an e-bike instead and enjoying like… 1000 fancy restaurant meals?
What? Like a parent does to a child? Really bizarre.
Clearly you’ve never been in a meaningful relationship.
Hahah, no, I’ve been in adult relationships.
I give half my money to my wife
Better be a toyota or you both just threw away $5k
Don’t you drive a BMW, though? You’ve made it pretty clear in other comments lol
what is owning multiple cars?

how are they so good.
Western production “profit worship” systems are literally incompatible with making good products. Toyota has refused to cave to western pressure of creating plastic, planned-obsolescant quote unquote cars.
Toyota is very much a for-profit business, and even donated money to the Trump campaign in 2016 because of his promises of corporate tax cuts.
They are also pushing back on EVs to continue their hybrid line. They also lobby Australia to prevent emissions standards.
They have a reputation for reliability. But they still worship profits above all other factors
