  • Bikes and Cars do not work well together. You will never have car free cities, even in small towns in EU, if you can’t drive around it with a faster road. Cities should not be build around important short and fast traffic roads, but that is how they are grown historical. Situation in rural areas is also very different to bigger cities. I would also say 30 is far from great for bikes. Most normal people drive slower and some drive faster. Speed is not the answer. Cars and bikes need different lanes. Everything longer than ~25km to work will be for cars or public transport. A good transition to having better transport will take a long time and reducing speeds to 30 is not a good solution.



  • The red light timings sometimes incentivizes to go faster as with 55-60km/h you can have a green wave and don’t need stop at any red light. for that it is totally worth it to drive faster. i hate when red light phase is longer than green phase. there are some really bad decisions on how red light timings work. Most do drive their path to work twice and know the timings and those do know when to drive faster/slower and will drive more aggressive to not wait at that one stupidly timed red light and have to wait and have like 25% more time to commute twice! (20->25min). It’s nice to calculate it with statistics but the way to work and back is better known and a slower driver might cause you to need to wait at multiple red lights while you could have driven a bit faster (and not always faster like in my first sentence but driving as fast as is allowed) and did not have to wait at any of that stupid red lights. I’m all for speed limits and better bike lanes etc. but driving slow when it’s stupid and stealing others precious time is fucking awful. What i also like are those that drive 60-70 constantly. Fuck man drive 100 if it is allowed and you can and drive 50 in the city but know, slow you down and than don’t even drive slower for the safety of entices in the city.





  • Probably Fico is who i thinking of. He resigned after a lot of protest. Vučić in Serbia is also a good candidate to go away. It’s incredible how people in Hungary, Slovakia and Serbia think Russia and China are helping them while EU contributions and single contributions from all kind of different EU countries contribute so much more to their countries than Russia or China, even together those two don’t invest in those countries compared to EU.
