Posts about urban biking in Dutch cities are routinely replied to with something like “well, they have the big advantage of being relatively flat.” The Dutch also have the big advantage of not constantly making excuses about why they can’t make clearly smarter decisions.

Damn I’m screaming inside You don’t need to keep repeating that night trains are good. We know. That there are too few. We know. They’re too unreliable. We know. HOW ARE YOU GOING TO FIX IT? HOW?!???!

They want zero emissions standards? Fine. Then let's give them zero subsidies. Zero bailouts. Zero priority on our streets. After a century of unchecked metastasis, the auto industry needs to be eradicated as we know it.

Even better: The Continuous Sidewalk. ​Instead of forcing people to step down into the street, we make the cars step up into the pedestrian space. It prioritizes the person walking or rolling, keeps the path level for accessibility, and physically forces drivers to slow down.

Yes, bad. As is also suggested in the piece, my suggestion would be to impose pricing, but it should be GPS-based congestion pricing (per km or minute) plus geofencing to ensure ‘pauking’ and pickup/dropoff doesn’t take place in bike lanes, bus lanes, etc.
