uuuh in winter we have things like cloths, even warmed gloves and boots when really cold ? Go in Montreal to figure it out, some are biking there even in winter.

I am pulling stats out of my close area, national stats are : For distances of less than 5 kilometers, cars still account for 60% of commutes. Less than 5 km can you imagine ?

Just put your ass on a bike instead of your fingers, and just try to do things

Yes it is.

Because it is handcraft compared to car industry (85 millions/year), and not subsidized at all.

Now how much costs a car ? Not only the price, but globally, if you include health impact, infrastructure needs.

I don’t think it is laughable.

A new cargo is 5000€ and you can find used or discounted ones for less than 3000€.

A used car will cost far more in repairs, insurance and gas, my 2010 car is valued around 3000€ and it costs us around 1000-1500€/year.

I don’t think bikes can replace cars for everyone, but many people could use a bike instead or their car 95% of the time, when we see that so much people use a car for less than 5 km.

Only concern is safety to use a bike in the middle of fast cars, but a proper infrastructure (separated bike lanes) solves it for a fraction of the cost of roads and parking places.

Plus they could use the bike lane as personnal parking and unload their deliveries

/s just in case

Model Y are made in germany, I guess that’s why they are popular in europe, now some countries give subsidies only if EV is made in europe

Reality is that we don’t have much oil here in Europe it makes no sense to use a ressource we don’t have

So, this is a new coup?

It’s a cheap way for russia to distract european attention and put pressure on polish/baltic states logistics and humanity : polish are tired to help ukrainians (see last election in june) so a large influx from refugee will add more tension.

Russia/Belarusia already did that in 2021 with success : https://www.rfi.fr/en/migrants-stranded-on-belarus-border-test-polish-resolve

If Russia send them on frontlines, Russia is the baddy. If EU/Poland rejects migrants, they are the baddies…

Biking or walking, and even driving, in a tunnel is pretty boring tho.

Last month I was thriving to pass a mountain through a bike/pedestrian tunnel, finally it is boring even with the local recipes painted on the walls.

For daily commute it is the most efficient tho

It’s not enshitification as it was shit since the beginning : how this company was allowed to bypass workers protection laws (working time, minimum wage…), to burn investor’s money with no limit and no real business plan (12 years burning cash without revenue) ?

Yeah people enjoyed their cheap ride, but now the cost is high.

Copper pots and door handles are very smart products as copper has killing bacterias properties, it is self cleaning, in some way.
