At least upgrade it to an e-bike and charge off public power.

>>50900184
I'd consider doing that if I was a fat fucking faggot LMAO

>>50900144
Even better: save money by living further from the city, and ride a motorcycle to work. Scooters and low-cc bikes get such good fuel economy it's unreal, and you can park for free on the footpath.
Parking alone for my car would be $20/day, or a train ticket would be almost $10. But riding my bike feels like a little adventure every morning, and it saves so much money.

I think that applies regardless of your method of transport. If I get hit by a car while I walk across the road I'm probably even more likely to die than on my bike, given that I wouldn't be wearing any protective gear.

For starters, on most roads (especially freeways) if the traffic slows down to a crawl then I will just filter through it. Also, when I can get to the speed limit (which is often) then I'll obviously be much faster and safer than a bicycle. You're limited to a small area near your house, but I can go anywhere.

>>50900297

>>50900144
Walkable cities are supreme. Call it reddit if you want, but you're wrong.
The only "good" thing about cars is it leads to urban sprawl so that the natural world gets completely destroyed.

Urban locations beyond a certain population density should be outlawed from allowing cars within them. Park your car at a parking garage at the outskirts of the city. Urban sprawls would be cut down massively. Plus there would be a massive parking garage district on the outskirts of the city which is very cyberpunky.

>>50900366
My bike cost $1400, does 4L/100 km and I could sell it for $4k.
No, I will not ride a bicycle 25 km to work each day. And neither do you.

heh nothin personnel kid

Why everyone hating on OP he's just grinding. Hell I don't even own a car my only bills are food and phone and I can DCA almost 90 percent of my pay at 21. I don't get bitches though

>>50900381
The concept of a walkable city inherently sees its residents as nothing but consumers. You can walk to the shops, you can walk to the cinema, you can walk to a restaurant. But what if you work in a specialised field, are you forced to live right next to your office? What if you work in a factory that produces toxic chemicals, do you live next to it in an industrial zone?
Once you consider that there is more to life than eating at restaurants, you might start to realise that walkable cities cannot, do not and will never exist.

>>50900381
Not just cities. Walkable town and the thought of being near the ocean or having a fun fulfilling life terrifies anyone from middle America. Especially midwestcels who have no culture besides Applebee's

>>50900357
Your life is posting a truck stop surrounded by greenery on a cockroach breeding forum, every single day you do the same thing.

This whole thread is you coping lmao. The 40 year old virgin rode a bike to work.

>>50900406
>But what if you work in a specialised field, are you forced to live right next to your office?
Public transit. Subways, trolleys, light rail. put security guards and cameras in the trains. Specialized heavy duty rails for industrial and commercial transport. Automobiles would be regulated to areas outside densely populated urban zones.

>>50900418
Lmao you "post this is middle America" and the image is still 90% asphalt and cars. These people are cucked beyond belief. No wonder you're all poor

>>50900440
I take it you've never actually used public transport?

>>50900431
lmao why do carfags seethe so hard at bikechad threads? I'm guessing it's because they're butthurt about the $10k they spent on their vehicles in the last 12 months

>>50900458
I have and it's ass because a lot of low lifes use it. In my scenario low lifes would just be a portion of the users. But that's what the security guards and cameras are for. I was thinking maybe you could make tiny stand up compartments with locking doors on them to make it safer for people, but I don't know if something like that would be feasible.

>>50900451
Every single day without fail, lmao at your life. You live in a state with the worst homeless problem in america, the dirtiest shit covered streets in all america come from cali and the crime is above average across the board, has the worst air quality in all of america and is home to the most aids and gays, not to forget the highest count of pedophilia.

>>50900483
No, obviously it's bad because it takes for fucking ever to get anywhere on it and you have to wait for every interchange. If you aren't going from one hub to another, you have to wait for a bus to take you to the train station, then have 1-3 trains and then you wait for another bus. You can easily spend two hours getting somewhere that would take 20min in a car or on a motorbike. It's expensive too -almost $10/day for a regular city ticket here, and you can easily spend $40-50 if you're going regionally.
And no, spending more taxes on it won't fix the problem.

>>50900406
>you might start to realise that walkable cities cannot, do not and will never exist.

There's a lot of first world cities that are walkable. Areas of tokyo, new york, mumbai, all end up with walkable areas because they are so dense that cars are basically useless naturally.

>>50900503
Cope I live in Maine and have more money than you. You live here. Your land is cheap because the life you live isn't worth living

>>50900527
Oh yes, because Mumbai is absolutely the perfect model for what good living conditions look like.

>>50900528
Less than 200 people live in that area, its a truck stop. I live in wyoming, life couldnt be better.

>>50900515
It's expensive because it has so few customers. If people couldn't use cars, public transport systems would have so much demand they could afford to charge a lot less. The increased demand would also justify building more frequent schedules. Also take into account that due to increased urban density and walkability, you won't need to take as many trips to get to where you need to be as everything is designed to be within walking distance.
You'll walk to the grocery store and back, you'll basically walk everywhere. You'll only take transport to go to work, which will be in walking distance of the transport hub, or to go somewhere for recreation.

In my opinion, the biggest issue is maintaining security on the rail lines.

>>50900536
I used the wrong city.
It's a city in the same world region as Singapore with a similar name, I can't remember it.

>>50900560
They actually have tons of demand here, enough that they needed to buy new higher-capacity rolling stock. It isn't expensive because nobody uses it, it's expensive because it's run by a government-enforced monopoly.
I think you should consider moving to a Chinese ghost city, it might be more your style. Or even just Mumbai. If you want to force it on everybody else, you can at least try it out for a few decades yourself.

>>50900574
Mumbai and Singapore are nowhere near each other. An expected level of geographic knowledge from someone who wants "walkable cities" but has never left Chicago (or whatever other flavour of black-infested American city you come from).

>>50900585
You're equating urban sprawl with luxury and walkable places like tokyo with poverty.
Even tokyos worst places are /comfy/ because they are walkable.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jT2apIgDE-g

>>50900596
I'm saying the city near singapore has a similar name to mumbai. not that mumbai is near singapore.

>>50900613
Want to take a guess about how much time each day the average Tokyo resident spends on public transport?

Doesn't matter, you pay with your time so it evens oht

>>50900622
I'm guessing it's less time than the average LA resident spends in bumper to bumper traffic

>>50900585
Or he could try france, japan, germany, netherlands... you know, every 1st world real country that doesnt have 30,000 people a year dying from car accidents, because they have public transit oriented designed cities, which, america used to have, until auto executives bought them up, scrapped them and unironically made you think the stroad/suburban design was the proper way to live, while they made huge money from gullible retards like you who buy cars, gas, insurance, maintenance, fast food, cardiologists for your inevitable no excercise and drive thru food life heart attack. Americas economy is literally built on this suburban structure. And the best part of it all is that it isnt sustainable, towns are taking on massive amounts of debt to fuel more of this infrastructure

>>50900629
Bro, I have an idea, instead of banning cars from ultra dense urban zones, let's dig hundreds of cubic miles of massive tunnels for cars to drive in!
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hFx6vx4P9M8

>>50900649
Basically, they want to build underground public transport for their fucking cars rather than build public transport for people. full clown mode.

where i live pedestrians and cars give me the right of way on a bike. i feel like the asshole king of the road.

i get cucked on top speed but make up for it everywhere else. and also 32km/h on my road legal ebike isn't that bad and my 1000w custom built goes up to 45km if i hold the throttle for about 20 seconds

>>50900647
If you haven't figured it out from my other posts, I live in Australia and ride a motorcycle. I get that you hate America because the TV told you to, but it actually has a pretty high standard of living in most areas.

>>50900900
As someone from America, let me give you a run down on what it's like. America is a first world country that WANTS to be third world. Basically this country is riding on the infrastructure of the previous century and the massive government investment in military and police spending. 1 in 3 Americans make less than 15 dollars an hour, which is below the poverty line. Most Americans have been obsessed with thug culture since the 90s and most of them are LARPing "Grand Theft Auto" in their heads. Everywhere there can be homelessness there is homelessness and lots of it. There were more shooting deaths in Chicago in a recent year than soldier deaths in the war on terror in the middle east.

Basically, if it wasn't for the massive investment in police and military by the government, this country would have been burned down and would be on par with mexico in terms of being third world, or maybe worse.

Basically, we're a police state riding previous century infrastructure barely holding back a population that would like nothing more than to live in shit. Also we have lots of cars. And guns.

You hate America because the kikes in your government told you to hate America. You don't drive because the kikes in your government have used your tax system to price you out of owning anything other than a 1.8L shitbox or a child's scooter. Not only are you not upset about this, but you're actually proud of what the kikes have done. You even attempt to use these facts as an example of you, yourself, somehow being superior. Fucking lol.

Bus drivers in the USA only deny you a ride if you don't pay in locations that are more than 80% white or asian.

You don't practically have to pay for public transit in America.

Yes it's terrible, but you must understand bus drivers don't do anything about it because the person who won't pay might also strangle them, stab them or slash the bus tires.

>>50905246
Burgerpunk is its own flavor of dystopia.
Urban sprawls of ghetto as shit cities with suburban sprawls of cookie cutter robot McMansions. It's almost desert like and you need a car to survive. At least in in other cities like Tokyo the houses and shops are close by to each other, which gives off less of a "wasteland" feel. All that plus the miles of asphalt poured just to be used as parking lots makes a lot of american urban and suburban areas feel like wastelands.

>>50905365
don't get me wrong, if you've got a car America is great. Also not every neighborhood is like pic related. but most urban centers in america are sprawls of 40-50% parking lots.

I live in the UK but hear me out: their is ONE city in the UK designed in the US car focused grid system. and yes, it was boring to grow up there without a car. however, the car focused system has made it the fastest growing city in europe. lockheed, boeing, raytheon, mercedes, redbull, santander, airbus all have offices in this city (to name a few) crime is low, the population is happy, and this city is considered a success story of post ww2 british rebuilding. its also considered a model city of humble conservative values, with a more American outlook then other UK cities. additionally, this city is one of the most technologically advanced in the UK, with widespread smart technology use. thats saying nothing of the appearance of the city; the car focused design allows for massive greenspaces you wouldnt find in other european style cities. having spent time in these so called ‘walkable paradises’ I can confidently inform all US based anons here that the car focused city design is far superior, safer, and more productive. look into milton keynes to find out more.
