So in my opinion, best thing you can do is keep whatever car you have for now, but find ways to drive it less.

And don't give subsidies for EVs, but to these other things. EV subsidies are just a give away to the car companies.

That's my thoughts:-)

So EVs are too little, too late; but are a great marketing gimmick for car companies to essentially sell you a battery subscription (because you'll need to replace that expensive battery after awhile) while also "green washing" their product as "part of the solution".

Unfortunately with electric cars, you still have a whole host of issues (most emissions from a car aren't even tailpipe emissions). To even be slightly effective, they need a clean power grid (something still missing in much of the US).

As a side note, I live in suburbs that have been slowly transforming to make biking safer. We can get better, but I already now use my bike to go most places. I've also seen more and more neighbors get curious and do the same!

I do! More than half of trips in the US are less than 3 miles (a bike-able distance) and just about everyone already has a bike in their garage as well as feet and/or a mobility device. We don't have to fix "everywhere", but we can focus our efforts on nodes of density in suburbia.

EVs are here to save the car companies, not our liveable planet. A freeway packed full with single occupancy electric cars is still a freeway packed full of cars. Fund the bus. Build more trains. Ride your bike. Cars are the least efficient way to move people in a city.

Amazing bike 😍 and totally agree with everything you said! EVs aren't bad per se, but they're a distraction from those other things that will have a bigger impact sooner.

Web pages are a dynamic environment; if you don't know how they flow and function through CSS concepts it's going to be really hard for you to design for them.

wait, this makes no sense at all!!! Why would you pave over so much of a park and cut down so many old trees for PARKING in a park that's in a city with many other ways to get there besides a car? Also, it's going to be ugly as hell despite how many trees they use to greenwash their rendering

We had a crit locally that shut down whole city blocks with fencing. I needed to get through, so I cut passed a fence on my fixed gear, rode a lap or two around their course (competitors warming up were confused), and then I exited through the fence on the other side being chased by race official 😂
