Or they are Maple Maga. We're not out of the woods yet, we have our own Nazi scum to purge and lance from the boil that bigotry and conservatives have become on our society.
Bikes are not even half as hard as you think they are.
I sold my bike last summer. I dislike riding bikes now; they hurt my back, and the cycling community is unfriendly (QED). I prefer my VESC board, it's more fun, and I can do a local grocery run without worrying that someone will steal it, and I've made more friends in the community.
I prefer my EV for longer distances, it's more practical.
For whatever reason, you seem unable to see someone else's perspectives on this subject. I'm going to chalk it up to inexperience.
Either way, it makes you a poor advocate for your cause.
Bikes would be even worse imo. Your uphill battle just got much steeper. You're also not helping anything by making the sweeping generalizations you seem to enjoy making.
I can't say I have heard it before from countless others (to precisely no avail), but regardless, best of luck in gathering momentum for your cause.
Speaking from past lived experience trying to get to work in -30c weather in my old city, and the once-every-half-hour bus is either full, late, or broken down. FORGET that noise.
It's definitely better where I am now l, but vast swaths of cityscape in my country are massively underserved, and I would assert that calling it "daunting" is comically trivializing the daily stress of trying to make a schedule happen in those cases.
Just telling someone to buck up and endure that is extremely condescending; you'll win so few allies to your cause with this approach (which I, incidentally l, support). You're basically saying their time is of little to no value, and what they want to accomplish with it doesn't matter. And time is the only true non-renewable resource in your life, kids.
Re-run. The orange asshole did the same thing with COVID testing. Didn't stop a healthy amount of his brain-dead supporters from suffocating on their own lung-juice (and good fucking riddance).
Unfortunately this time we all have to inhale their EMISSIONS.
Ok but your not speaking to a Chinese, but to a Canadian, so don't make me laugh any harder than you already have or I'll need to go see a doctor for free.
So leave. I did, but only after Alberta ate 27 years of my life. BC is a paradise compared to that armpit of a province. We (well me personally at least) would welcome more measured perspectives like the one you're espousing.
I don't care if it costs more here; it's better here.
Steadfastly. Without pause. Ad infinitum.
