You’ll need to invent an air conditioned bicycle if you want me to ride
no one asked you to ride a bike, what the actual fuck are you commenting if you don’t have an opinion to express. we’re talking about the death of millions from climate catastrophe in the next hundred years and you’re being myopic.
you’re on the urbanism comm, c/doomer is that way. you’re getting push back because being a nihilist is profoundly antisocial, and this is a comm about making urban environments better in our society.
see, this is where a train would come in. A quick bike ride to the station then 28mi on an air conditioned train and another quick bike ride to work. Putting cars at the end forces a lot more asphalt and parking problems, but a shuttle or local bus route could help if its really too hot to spend a few minutes on a bike to get from the stations to your destination.
an electric scooter could also help if you just really hate the bike form factor. any light or ultralight EV is going to be better than driving around in a wagon.
i would also add that aggregate decisions do matter, but only in aggregate. you riding a bike, individually, won’t change shit, but everyone collectively using cars or not using cars makes a huge difference in air quality, carbon emissions, and pollution levels.
Have you considered that you’re making up a guy in your head and arguing with him about some shit that i didn’t say and offered no opinion on

Wild levels of optimism on hexbear today.
figured i’d rather wildly underestimate than check the presumably more horrifying real numbers.
I said Im not gonna do that
It’s gonna happen anyway

ok guy
Why not?
gestures around the sweltering heat, visibly shimmering over the asphalt
it’s hot
I live 30 miles from work
It’s not going to change anything re: climate change (this is the vote with your wallet of hexbear)
How come there’s so much asphalt?
Why do you feel adressed by an article that proposes changing urban transportation if you live 30 miles from your work?
