We don't hate cars, we just want them to be obvious death traps with clear, specific function and few comforts.

Listen: I don’t want to minimize the danger of high e-bike speeds. But if the problem here is that stores sell e-bikes that can drive faster than legal limits, then where’s the story about how literally *every car dealership has been doing the same thing for decades*?!?

Hidden cameras show some stores unlocking speed limits on e-bikes, selling e-scooters that go up to 120 km/h | CBC News

A new hidden camera investigation by Marketplace shows how some stores are selling e-scooters and e-bikes with top speeds much higher than provincial speed limits and with recommended rider ages young...

Drivers can see every achromatic colour (neutral colour) of vehicle but put that on a pedestrian or a person on a bike and we then become invisible? Maybe all cars should be cast in red, yellow & orange from now on. If you drive & can’t prioritize the safety of vulnerable road users, STOP DRIVING!

A #WarOnWalking. A war on biking. A war on public transit. A war on any transportation choice other than driving. A war on better cities. But a war on cars? Hardly. Cars still get most of the space, rights, budget, prioritization, etc. And any effort to add more choice is immediately attacked.

People love threatening to murder people for legally riding bikes. Of course drivers regularly hit cyclists riding in painted bike lanes or shoulders. It's almost like motorists don't need any excuse to inflict violence upon bicyclists.

One cool thing about ebikes? They make active transit way more accessible. I shredded my knees through high-impact athletics in my teens/20s, to the point where riding a non-e bike up a steep hill is awful. With an ebike, though, hills are no problem!

The thing about our car infrastructure is that it also sucks. If the train just stopped working several times a week, we would burn it to the ground. www.dallasnews.com/news/transpo...

I live in a neighborhood in a major US city where a stick in the grass on the side of a divided highway counts as bus infrastructure. You're a long way from the final act of Cabaret, m'friend.

This post may be the most effective argument right now for letting public transit wither. It may not make sense to you, but it feels right to many, many people. So in a short new post, I talk through what's going on here, and how to engage with it. humantransit.org/2026/09/the-...

Of course the most important causal fact identified in this story is that the woman was not in a crosswalk. You never see the story that says, "Damn, pedestrian in crosswalk not magically saved from automobile violence!" www.fox4news.com/news/woman-m...
