Haselbach @haselbach.bsky.social · 22/09/2026The CDU is enacting the same playbook in Berlin that Doug Ford is using in Toronto. They are trying to win the motorist vote by hating on cyclists. 010
Haselbach @haselbach.bsky.social · 21/09/2026Wasn’t this a weekend closure, meaning he could still enjoy it from the confines of a car 5 out of 7 days a week? 190
Haselbach @haselbach.bsky.social · 15/09/2026Then you’ll be happy to learn that cyclists do not break the rules more than motorists do. 031
Haselbach @haselbach.bsky.social · 15/09/2026Source: trust me bro. Reality: studies show that cyclists obey rules at the same or higher rates than motorists (with less dangerous vehicles). www.outsideonline.com/outdoor-adve... Why do you people always repeat the same tired bs?outsideonline.comCyclists Are More Law-Abiding Than DriversAt least that's the result of a new study, which also found that drivers tend to cause crashes and close calls way more often than road bikers 030

Reposted by HaselbachThe War on Cars @thewaroncars.bsky.social · 08/09/2026NEW! "Fine, We're Doing a Helmet Episode." After Mayor Mamdani posted a video showing him wearing a bike helmet, social media exploded. But what are helmets designed to do? Who sets the standards? And what is it about the mere mention of them that causes people to lose their minds? bit.ly/4gFMJub 3839454

Haselbach @haselbach.bsky.social · 21/08/2026Efforts to remove master / slave from tech terms predates woke 1. IMHO there is no good reason to use slave over replica for data storage. 110
Haselbach @haselbach.bsky.social · 21/08/2026German used to barely use apostrophes at all. It was only used for abbreviations and rarely for disambiguations. And yet people started to use it more and more to indicate possession like English does. I guess people just love using apostrophe’s. 000
Haselbach @haselbach.bsky.social · 20/08/2026While the wording here might seem questionable (I think it’s fine though), the sentiment can be found in actual legislation. For example in Germany the fine for being too close depends on the distance in relation to the speed (aka the halber Tacho / half speedometer rule). 001
Haselbach @haselbach.bsky.social · 20/08/2026That’s the default in Germany and yet extremely hard to find in the US. Something I never understood. 010

Haselbach @haselbach.bsky.social · 17/08/2026I am not too thrilled to see crooked media join the bandwagon of big tent but not those lefties. Disappointed but not surprised. 000
Haselbach @haselbach.bsky.social · 10/08/2026There’s a fine line between pragmatism and cementing the status quo. 000
Haselbach @haselbach.bsky.social · 09/08/2026Right, further topic. These things are not connected at all. Nothing to see here. 000
Haselbach @haselbach.bsky.social · 09/08/2026To my legally untrained eyes this looks like something that will be used as evidence in future legal cases. 030

Haselbach @haselbach.bsky.social · 27/07/2026Again, I am not a legal scholar. It seems that SCOTUS rulings can be and have been overruled by later SCOTUS rulings as we shockingly saw in RvW. 110
Haselbach @haselbach.bsky.social · 27/07/2026A sane interpretation of the #2A would probably suffice, especially given that for some reason the part about the well regulated militia got ignored. I am not a legal scholar though. 2160
Haselbach @haselbach.bsky.social · 26/07/2026The thing that makes the least sense in the series Paradise is that they use cars in their underground city. #motonormativity 011
Haselbach @haselbach.bsky.social · 23/07/2026Absolutely! For me it’s worse to lose internet connectivity. I can use batteries for a while and a generator for a longer power outage. Cell phone coverage is not good enough here to be an alternative. 110
Haselbach @haselbach.bsky.social · 20/07/2026The greatest trick the devil pulled was to make people think that public transit and bicycle lanes are expensive. 010

Haselbach @haselbach.bsky.social · 17/05/2026There is a common misconception here. I also had to explain to a colleague that a pedal assist e-bike merely multiplies the force that you put in. Hence, you still exercise. He thought they are low powered electric motorbikes. 1120
Haselbach @haselbach.bsky.social · 15/05/2026I did a cycle tour (120km) visiting a museum the other day and want to organize something like that for others to participate. Now I can add anti-aging on the list of reasons to join. 000

Haselbach @haselbach.bsky.social · 09/05/2026What people answer to the question how often they buy salt and what it means. IDK when I last bought salt -> This person does not cook.

Haselbach @haselbach.bsky.social · 20/04/2026I disagree. Volatility is poison for the economy. A company has to manage limited resources. Why put it in a market of a country whose administration is volatile and downright hostile to European companies and to cycling in general? The opportunity cost is high. Other countries are improving faster. 050
