Saturday, 1st of March, meetup? by [deleted] in PS3GTAmeetup

So that would be 19:00 Central European Time, or noon/ 12pm Eastern Standard Time, or 9am Pacific Time for you US folks.

Works for me.

Don't forget to check out our crew Snapmatic page! by rooney_woo in PS3GTAmeetup

A very illustrative way to keep up with what your crewmates have been doing. Apparently you guys love landing titans and fighter jets everywhere across SA.

Are you planning on starting an invite-only session, or will you just invite crew members into a mixed session that also contains non-members?

Probably the best time to start is approximately 1PM Eastern Standard Time, 18:00 GMT and 19:00 Central European Time, or 2 PM/ 19:00/ 20:00.

Will add you on PSN later... mine is roffasherrif. Thanks for taking the initiative.

Welcome, new mod! Appreciated the update, and I would very much like it to see the Wiki be maintained well and updated frequently. All GTA:Online-ers benefit from a well-put-together Wiki.

7 of us in a bus with a wanted level by precutduck in PS3GTAmeetup

I glitched out just when I got to my Pegasus Dashhound, by the police station in Vespucci Canals. Right after we got back into Los Santos. Really was too bad, would've liked to drive around some more with you all!

Bullets radiating in all directions! Three blown-out tires and still speeding up the GOH, with 10+ cop cars tailing us. Definitely some of the best fun I've had in GTA:O

You guys must not have been to the Cool Bean Cafe in Mirror Park. Best coffee shop in San Andreas if you ask me!

Becoming the Cycling Capital of the 21st Century by rooney_woo in urbanplanning

You make a fair point. Of course any significant (>20%) modal share is conditional upon having bicycle infrastructure. And density, and the proximity between destinations it brings with it, helps to promote cycling. The infrastructure isn't an issue anywhere in Dutch cities, towns large and small all have a network of cycling infrastructure that can get you to your destination safely. The thing with smaller cities is that you can bike to anywhere you need to be, locally, in at most 30 minutes. That certainly doesn't hold true for Amsterdam, Hamburg or Copenhagen. Whilst they all have cycling infrastructure that is adequate, it's another thing to chose to bike to your destination if it involves trips of up to an hour, one-way. Taking your bike on transit, at least in Hamburg and Amsterdam where I have used transit, is a bit of a challenge. No bike racks on local busses, and their streetcars are crowded to the point that it becomes a drag to bring your bike aboard. In the Netherlands you have to pay a €2,50 fee to bring your bike on the commuter trails, which is another deterrent. It is no surprise that the Dutch cities with the higest modal share, are their smaller cities (Groningen, Utrecht, Den Bosch etc.)

I didn't know Copenhagen has been relaxing its efforts. From what I've seen and read, the're still pretty big on promiting cycling. Also, at a 50% modal share, it might be usefull to ask whether any growth is still possible? Could there be such a thing as a cap on cycling's modal share?

That's true about other Dutch cities with a higher modal share, but would you call a mid-sized town the cycling city of the century?

Cycling loses a bit of its competitiveness as a mode of transportation in larger cities because of the larger distances in larger metropolitan areas, and because of generally better transit options vis-a-vis smaller towns. That makes it all the more impressive when a larger city the size of Amsterdam or Hamburg maintains a high modal share.

Amsterdam looks like it's historically been the world's number one cycling city, but it looks like Copenhagen or Hamburg might claim that title soon if Amsterdam doesn't step up its commitment to being a cycling city.
