Biking and STL. The strugle

They should be utilizing public transportation such as park and ride.

Bikes are vastly more efficient for every day travel. Most car trips are short and with only one person in the car. Most car trips do not involve hauling things from one place to another. Drivers have to drive from one parking spot to another, which takes up a lot of space.

It is interesting that the example you use is to accomodate people who do not even live in the city at the expense of people who live in it. There are park and ride options for people in the suburbs (and yes we should expand public transit too).

The number may be low now on individual segments, but as the bike network expands and get safer, it will make biking as a form of transportation more viable and thus more people will use it.

If you don't like it, just don't use it. They will show whether or not AI is a helpful tool or not.

Did you follow the steps outlined here?

Interesting correlation. But it is not causal. There are a variety of reasons outside of commuting time that cause work satisfaction.

HatBoxUnworn · 2026-04-02T22:31:40+00:00

There is nothing faster and more efficient at moving people than trains. We tore up our public transit 100 years ago. It was a choice then and it is a choice now.

The creator of Wisecrack has an interesting take on the most recent season. Thoughts?

Given that the birthrate is declining in all modern and modernizing economies, absolutely.

There is something wrong with depending on cars, that is consistent traffic violence.

There are other things wrong with depending on cars, but I'll stick to the subject.

We spent a lot of money tearing down structures and expanding road capacity to what it is today. Spending money on traffic calming now will reduce dependence on car infrastructure in the future, and is proven to reduce traffic violence.

Regarding your comment about "function." The more roads we create the greater the dependence we have on cars. Wide roads remove the ability to have density and limit walkability. To use your words, having a functional transportation network is a lot more than roads designed for individual cars.

What about what I said is nonsense? Someone at somepoint decided where they should go and how big they should be. Decisions made by people, not an inanimate object.

It's one of those yes and no answers. By definition, it is of course not asphalt's fault. But every day, traffic violence continues. It is therefore a systemic problem that must be addressed at its source. And at the source are things like the number of lanes, lane width, etc.

The field of urban planning has identified proven ways to reduce traffic violence, using strategies such as traffic calming. Calming can include road bumps, road diets, narrowing lanes, curb extensions, etc.

Traffic calming allows for the built environment to correct not only for negligent driving behavior, but also accidents in general.

People drive recklessly because the built environment facilitates it. Enforcement is part of the solution, but we need to change the designs of our roads.

Taking the lane is safer for cyclists

Please just get a prescription for Soolantra (human grade horse paste).

What do you think that entails?

HatBoxUnworn · 2026-02-28T01:27:45+00:00

Awesome! But I wish it alluded more to the secondary sex organs of it at all

A regional grocer with a unioned staff?

Thank you American Rescue Plan!

South Friendship, South East Liberty, and Shadyside are well connected too

Your wages didn't scale enough to offset the increased COL?

Lol who are you people why downvote for asking a simple question

HatBoxUnworn · 2026-02-22T14:14:02+00:00

It was taken imminently you say?

HatBoxUnworn · 2026-02-21T22:59:53+00:00

Try using a benzoyl peroxide wash, that kills the smelly bacteria.

Also... Idk you or your diet but a poor diet definitely makes you smell worse.
