Well yeah, experiencing >1000 motorcycles and bicycles all blocked in and boiling in the Hanoi heat because of like 10 cars and a van will solidify ones unending loathing of cars, but usually things aren’t so bad and you get the fun of weaving and finding the ever-changing paths between bikes, pedestrians, cars, construction equipment, and potholes, whereas cars are just forced to go and stop when somethings in the way.
Just scribble out your vision, it will be better than AI.
Getting stuck in traffic in a car or cruising on a freeway is an exercise in patience, tracking which of the hundreds of bikes around you you have to pay close attention to while operating a motorbike is mentally exhausting.
Ah, so driving in SEA is safe, got it.
The study found similar results with participants who partook in several hours similarly sedentary activity, like television watching.
Does it apply to motorcycles?
The amount of stuff transported is largely a function of population density; if you have 10 groceries serving 50000 vs 100 groceries serving 50000 people, you’re not reducing the amount of stuff that needs to be transported.
So the traffic effects get worse the more dispersed the warehouses are as they spend more time on the road driving longer distances and the smaller the average capacity of the vehicles.
You wouldn’t want 1 warehouse at the edge of a city of >1 million unleashing a flood of vans ir cargobikes on the city.
Wasn’t the F-35 supposed to be cheaper? Surely they were designed for ease of manufacture?
The smaller the truck is, the more trucks and distribution warehouses you need.
1 semi and a forklift can move 26×2×2 pallets. A van might hold 1 if it has the suspension, a kei truck 1-6.
Different areas have different logistics needs and resources.
Why are F-35s so difficult to mass produce anyway? Are there super-labor intensive composites or something?
Are fewer commercial vehicles that only enter pedestrianized areas at low times good? Sure. But that may not be realistic, depending on the size and logistical needs of the pedestrianized zone. When there are commercial trucks in the city, they need priority so they can get out as unobtrusivly as possible.
motorbike obviously not built for it
You don’t need a purpose-built vehicle to drive on some grass, though the mini’s open diff honestly surprised me he didn’t have difficulty when there was 1 wheel on the pavement and 1 wheel on grass. Clearly the suspension is soft enough/has enough travel the designers considered the possibility that the car might not be on good roads.
My bike isn’t a dirtbike, but has adv tires instead of streets because of how frequently I have to ride offroad or on gravel roads or w/e.
honking repeatedly
Its usually a quick beep to let the person I am passing know where I am, I got hit when I didn’t do that last year and someone in the righthand lane decided to take an exit on the left as I was passing.
You know what happens if you swerve into the side of a car
Yes, at the speeds involved you get a small dent, maybe some scratched paint.
Where I live this is reckless endangerment
Who was in danger? The people 15 feet away from the car?
There are reasons I would never move to Florida.
I would never move back, but there are some things I miss.
Eh, I never interpreted it as a threat, only “If I can’t go because of traffic, neither can you! Riding on the lines is illegal!”.
I know bicyclists who have been pushed into the shoulder by assholes, that is threatening, but just getting in someone’s way to lower them to your level is merely childish behavior.
Trucks have less ability to stop and emit a ton of pollution when they need to accelerate again, its in everyone’s best interest that they are not obstructed.
Blocking someone or yelling at them isn’t a threat of violence, its just assholish behavior.
I ride my motorbike with thousands of motorbikes and bicycles in just as dense clusters every day. Minor contact between <400lb vehicles happens constantly without injury. When someone goes down, the worst they get is a scrape.
You are drawing a parallel between driving on some dirt 15 feet away from any people to intentionally committing mass murder.
Option 3: even people who don’t think cars should exist think we should all share the road, you gain nothing from sitting in the passing lane, so it looks like you’re just being an asshole for the hell of it.
It doesn’t matter if cars give way to 2 wheelers because we can simply go around them. Though in the US its not terribly uncommon for crab-bucket brained drivers to try to block bikes from filtering at red lights.
I used to do that during stop and go traffic, after I saw a couple semis doing it. If you can gauge the average speed of traffic and smooth out the irregularities, everyone gets there at the same time, but we all have a much more relaxed drive.
Now I ride a motorcycle so I can simply go around/between traffic.
One thing I like in SEA is that often a car liscense requires a motorbike liscense; the default personal transportation is less dangerous to the public and to operate a 2 ton machine, you have to have experienced both sides.
