L'espace pris par 70 voitures à côté de l'espace pris par 1 000 vélos.
L'espace de stationnement pour les vélos n'est pas un problème. C'est une solution. Demandez-vous combien de personnes, de clients, de visiteurs vous voulez recevoir. 📎
With a less car-centric design, you probably wouldn’t have to live so far from work and there’d be more space and money for improved public transit efficiency.
Hypothetically speaking… of course this will never actually happen. We’ll just keep making larger and larger roads, spreading out farther and farther, and requiring more people to drive further, increasing the demand for more larger roads. But of course certain kinds of work would never be put in the middle of a city, and would be less efficient to get to as a result.
In my city, though, a nice possible medium is bike + transit. Usually this enables much more efficient use of public transit.
Instead of Walk - wait - bus - wait - bus - walk its more like ride - wait - bus - ride. Cutting out that transfer and increasing the speed of getting to and from the transit line makes for much more efficient mobility, even on moderate length trips.
Bikes are a lot smaller than cars
Proposal, we make ridiculously oversized bikes.
Way ahead of you there.
Can’t decide if this is a huge bike or a tiny car.
Yes.
Still not as big as a car. Think bigger!
Yes, that was the point of the post.
I’m sorry, I don’t follow…say what now?
Sometimes
And the range is a problem, if your time is limited.
Bikeable cities, e-bikes, public transit, and of these or combinations really should be enough for people to get around a city.
I need to go 40km to work. It’s 30min by car. And 90min by public transportation. I don’t want to waste 3 hours a day when I can waste 1 hour.
