The poster BEFORE ripping it off ;)
I guess regardless of country, people pushing shit like this can't seem to make a natural looking facial expression. Its like they try to replicate what happy people look like to them in order to get the response they see others receive but the best they can do is the trail leading into the uncanny valley
God please no, Sydney actually has viable public transport compared to something like the US.
There's so many cool JDM type stuff there probably because enthusiasts keep cars around the city.
I'd much rather be able to see all the slick WRXs and Evos while walking than having to drive a crapbox into Sydney.
Oh look, another old white man with stupid ideas
I have to drive a van every day for work, but even I find this repulsive.
Meanwhile, if successful, they'd probably complain about traffic and blame it on cyclists being slow in the car lanes
We had some winners in my city a few years ago.
Here's my favorite quote from that article:
“The money is in the car,” Comrie insists. “Who’s the spender? Does a bicyclist go and buy sporting goods, or furniture, or clothing? Or are they just out for a ride?”
Does this guy think cyclists are sitting naked in empty apartments wishing they had clothes and furniture? Luckily he did not win the election.
Yeah because someone who never exercises, you know the type of person who only moves around the city in a car, buys sporting goods frequently. Yep.
The carbrained can’t see cycling as a form of transport, only as a type of exercise. In their minds people only cycle to cycle, not to fulfil other tasks. Only cars are for going places, like shopping.
I have a lot more money to buy shit ever since i rid myself of that money pit we call a car....
US here with bonus points for a conservative city in the bible belt. I see people literally just driving in circles around the block or up and down the street endlessly almost every day. Multiple times a week at least. Don't fucking tell me drivers only do so with purpose. eyeroll.gif
No you don't.
It is exactly what some people I know do. If there's a lot of car enthusiasts or bored teens old enough to drive in that area I can believe seeing that kind of thing. Although I do think it's an exaggeration.
Is that guy a blatantly lying piece of shit, or just a moron?
In factual reality, cyclists buy more stuff than motorists, not less!

Yeah, "serious" cycling
a sport where a $1k bike barely qualifies as a bike, $5k gets you something rideable, and $10k gets you a pretty decent bike
is so anti-consumer!
(I love cycling, and I'll defend spending more on my power meter pedels than I would spend on a decent used bike. More bike lanes everywhere please!)
Why, the cyclist needs no clothes or food, for the cyclist is sub-human and is therefore an animal (what these car-brained people probably think)
Not "probably," "certainly!" It's proven by research: https://www.sciencefocus.com/news/more-than-half-of-motorists-view-cyclists-as-subhuman-cockroaches

Perhaps he was too crazy even for them.
Fewer*
Probably owns a few parking lots.
I pledge to do absolutely nothing about parking prices, but will try to slow down the cycle lane projects
Bike lanes might have lead to cheaper parking due to fewer cars.
Car-brains don't do standard logic, only car-logic...
Isn't it supposed to be "fewer" anyway?
Les Lane sounds like Superman’s brother in law.
lmao
No, less is perfectly acceptable. GoT is very annoying for turning people into grammar pedants for a 18th century style suggestion.
wtf is GoT? I don't use linux
Wasn't GoT that TV show with all the boobs and dragons?
They probably mean that those convenient areas adjacent to the lanes on a road should be seen as “less bike lanes, but more car park”.
Ahhhhh... This actually does make sense. I love you.
He likes cars, not grammar.
well, he hasn't met mine yet. she's in fine fettle for her age.
Cars and, based on the looks of it, insects. I didn't realize how much like a lizard he looks.
It is
Tsk
TSK?
I'm sorry; I don't know what that is. I meant, like, "tsk tsk tsk. Shame."
I don't really expect more than like 2-3 Lemmy users to know anyway. It's just a random joke.
Coat of arms of Slovakian Trenčín region (Trenčiansky samosprávny kraj (TSK)).
Are you from there, or is this just a random fun fact? Either one is cool, but I'm curious.
Slovakia, yes.

Just 8 of them.
Cool. I'm from Kentucky in the US. Hello 👋🏻
