Ackshyuwally it's a bakfiets which is totally unique from cargo bikes because the dutch invented them
Cargo bike shills annoy me because they act as if they're an amazing invention that lies at the fabric of dutch culture when I basically never see them around, not even in my trips to amsterdam. Literally my first reaction to the Not Just Kikes video about them was "What the fuck is this piece of shit".
Speaking of that video, I find it hilarious that he blames modern children's lack of knowledge of different streets and places on cars when both my parents who grew up in the "car-centric" version of my country know my city infinitely better than I do. People in the modern day suck at navigating cities because people now are more sheltered and go outside less which has nothing to do with cars and everything to do with forcing everyone to use a computer and having every website be a skinner box. Now I would be in full support of computer licenses and making society less reliant on computers but these fags never say anything about that.
With Kei trucks they at least have real pictures of them in use, with cargo bikes it seems to be all the same stock photography and stuff they have on their website. Even in pictures of "muh Amsterdam bike paradise" (no offense) I don't see many cargo bikes at all.
I'm not surprised Jason made a ludicrous claim where the opposite is true. I became extremely familiar with my hometown (at least the usual places--my dad's office, the grocery store, church) before I could talk and my parents introduced me to maps. In comparison, when I visited larger cities, you can't tell where the hell you are relative to your past location especially if the train plunges into a long tunnel like Washington DC, New York, or even Dallas, and an abstract map of colored lines isn't very helpful in figuring out where you are.
Of course I didn't have a tablet with brainrot on to bury my nose in whenever we left the house, either, if you want discuss societal issues, but that's not a car issue. (As for computer licenses, the trick is "smartphone licenses", that's where the real problems come from).
There are no statistics on the number of incidents that don't rise to a murder but are still uncomfortable and make people feel unsafe. Undoubtedly, there are a lot of them, they just don't get reported. There's no way to tell when a particular schizo sperging out is going to kill you either.
It should be mentioned that when it comes to cycling, cyclists
always talk about "yeah that cager tried to kill me" or whatever, none of those incidents (real or imagined) are kept track of. Cyclists and transit enthusiasts are often interchangeable on this thread, when cyclists are endangered it's a huge deal where they must deal with the motorist menace, when transit riders are endangered it's no big deal, it didn't happen, and if it did, you deserved it.
