Car 1 sucks and car 2 super sucks. Truck is just doing his job and often there is no good place for them to load/unload. Last car there is no way they could have known a bike was coming due to truck.
If you are on a bike share bike, just brake slow enough to hit door. Bike will be fine, door will be fucked, and it will be their fault.
I had a bike commute in LA where the same truck passed me every morning and swerved into me. Lots of undiagnosed mentally ill people on the roads.
Hypothetically, if you were intending to break a wing mirror to save someone’s life… Punch down, pops right off. Hypothetically, armoured gloves would be best for this, which would protect you’re hands in the event of a crash.
It’s a cultural thing
Many Americans are physically unable to do this
But why think of others or move your body unnecessarily when you could just buy a truck large enough to crush all other objects in the roadway?
TIL, thanks!
So many people don’t know how to use their side mirrors
TIL, side mirrors, on newer cars, fold both directions. I often adjust them to assist incompetent drivers.
Wow, that rider is way too polite. I’d yell at them.
There’s advantages to being passive aggressive, like making the other person feel like an asshole. Only works if the other person has the capability to feel shame, though.
I would really like there to be automatic door opening systems with door locking when an object enters a defined approach space.
In truth, I would really like there to be no more cars at all…
Half as Interesting made a video about the logistics (and exceptions) in a town without cars
You still going to need fast response vehicles and something for people with disabilities. Also in a lot of places public transport alternatoves are really really suicide worthy… But I do agree with general sentiment though, fuck cars!

Why is everyone opening their doors in the road in the first place? I’ve never been to a big city so I don’t know how it is
Car dependent infrastructure often leaves no good spaces to just pull over and park in. You gotta account for those spaces and pay for them or keep the road liminal, making things like this common in the states when civilians are trained to hate cycling.
I was waiting for it to do a seamless loop
