My thought is how great is that most use these e-bikes or motorcycles vs cars, can you imagine having to find spaces for all these if they were cars?

It’s funny to me that bikes work but cars don’t in 4d, like cars need so much more effort to get working but bikes are just instantly transdimensional

If you think about a row of 6 parked cars or a rack of 6 parked bikes on a pavement, the amount of city space taken by all 6 bikes is probably the same as one of the cars.

Most cars give you a nag light for tyre air now. All my bikes shout at ya! Turned the big lad around the other day and added a few pound. Handling was transformed. This has been a great tool over the years for bikes, cars, cycles and balls!

I love how bikes compliment the urban landscape rather than dominating it like cars.

They measure the marathon by bike, and there are so many double parked cars they have to lift their bikes over them. Honestly, joke of a city sometimes. (great feature in NYT by @luisferre7.bsky.social)

"but bike party is bad because the bikes are blocking the roads" maybe you should consider the rhetorical meaning of doing this. Have you considered that cars block bikes from using the road the other all the time?

“Paris has embarked on a grand transformation, planting 155k trees, adding hundreds of kms of bike lanes, pedestrianising 300 school streets and banning cars from the banks of the Seine. Parking has been turned into green space…Fewer parents fear their child being run over when they walk to school.”
How Paris swapped cars for bikes – and transformed its streets
Under Anne Hidalgo – mayor for 12 years until last week – the French capital added bike lanes, cut traffic and reclaimed public space, but not without resistance

London is swamped with vehicles that are speed-restricted, geofenced and kill 2 pedestrians annually.
Sorry, my bad, not restricted or geofenced and kill 100. I got hire bikes and cars mixed up there. I wonder what the solutions could be.
