    People don’t even need car tbh. Motorbikes everywhere please. Zip zip, less traffic, everyone pays attention to road or falls and dies.

      I live in Maine. Riding a motorcycle in the winter is not only highly unpleasant, it’s borderline suicidal.

      I’m all for 2 wheeled transport where it works, but anywhere that gets snow for months out of each year it’s a non starter as a primary transportation mode

      Yeah, no.

      Those things are death traps and there’s a reason why they’re mostly prevalent in nations where people literally can’t afford anything safer.

      You would think killing off the stupid would improve the breed. But apparently the real world shows it does not. Besides, I ain’t riding a motorbike at -40 Celsius or Fahrenheit or in 30cm/12" of fresh snow or in a thunderstorm.
