Rules for thee, but not for me.

I dont understand why people are not more upset about this and rioting. I guess everyone is just burnt out tbh.

Absolutely don't let perfect be the enemy of good.

The next step would be for people to voice there desired improvements and additions. This can be the addition of bike paths, raised crosswalks, bollards at intersections, benches and tree shade, patio areas and pedestrianised streets, dedicated tram ways, anything to turn a street into a destination as opposed to a thruway (or throughway).

Anything that can be done to push in the "right" direction is a win when it comes to improvements of infrastructure. Often enough we see cities get stuck in "planing and studies", and rarely implement, as to not inadvertently make a select few "unhappy".

Instead we all left collectively "unhappy", as opposed to a select few of us "unhappy".

Another view of the same area, now designed as a street.

“I cannot concentrate on my work anymore, because when I leave my work, I have to think, ‘Oh, where am I gonna leave my car?,’” he said.

Soooo close but just missed the point.

I think I am just saying that the argument "two children on a scooter" seems to be a scapegoat.

As a kids, we we would ride on our local neighbourhood streets like so. I am not sure what the argument would be if we got hit by a car.

Honestly I think I might just end up getting this version of a "e-bike" if these types of laws start getting passed.

This at least allows you to ride on a sidewalk, a multi use trail, a bike path, get on a bus or subway or a tram, and you can get hit buy a driver all the same ways!

The article mentions that a car was involved but yet no mention if the driver is facing any consequences.

Would this collision have caused the same outcomes if the children hit anything other a car or motor vehicle?

Is this image in the article AI generated or a meta replicant?

Honestly I would take the Covid years again, somehow it felt more predictable (to me anyways)

People in my neighborhood constantly cut speed cameras down every other week, do with this as you will.

It's almost like all these things line up to push for consumers to want a cloud hosted Desktop

Seems like it's time to start looking at mesh internet networks.

I do think it's fine, though I do want to point out the word "cyclist" does carry some "weight" to it especially in North America.

For example a individual like Forester would disagree, this dudes "studies" are essentially what all North American city planners follow regrettably. Link to a summary of this topic.

Its also why its so hard to explain why dedicated separate bike infrastructure is so important. Most city planners for some reason forget that children and older individuals cycle.

Any news article with a AI generated image being front and center I personally ignore right away.

This is how I go pickup milk in the mornings. /s

Would this be required in a car free town/city?

Oxford street, one of London’s primary commercial districts and heavily retail-focused area.

Oxford street looks like a community to me, and at the same time it's fulfilling all of the same "retail focused" aspects of what is shown in OP's post/image.

It needs a parking lot and strip mall /s

Also worth noting not are people on a bicycle are "cyclists", just like not all people in a car are "race car drivers".

There's various types of bicycle, such as riding for pleasure, casual riding, entertainment, or racing. Not to mention the various ages of bicyclists. These distinctions are important, just as much as safe well designed infrastructure for all roadway users, weather they are on foot, or a bicycle, or in a car.
