Oh the misery. Everyone in Cleveland is my enemy.
The average car driver has gotten a bit better, I’ve only been hit by 1 driver not understanding how big their vehicle was (and 1 driver not hitting the ebrake/engaging the clutch and rolling back into my bike before I could get out of the way). But yeah, even 1 car for every 20 bikes fucks up traffic for everyone, especially when they have to stop to crawl by a parked car or something. I have some hope things will improve as Hanoi bans ICE engines inside the city and other cities take notice.
Even so, I will take riding in the worst HCMC traffic over America’s psychotic, egotistical drivers.
Chain drive electrics are fine, if a tad boring, but they currently lack range.
Also smaller motorbikes aren’t loud, just ban loud exhaust.
I’m not exaggerating about seeing 10+ bikes for every car in some locations. https://vietnamnews.vn/economy/1690616/only-nine-per-cent-of-households-in-viet-nam-own-a-car.html
The important part isn’t that you have the bike, its that very few people use cars, so there streets have the capacity to transport hundreds a minute, a dozen people can park in front of a 15 foot wide shop.
Come to vietnam. Outside of HCMC and Hanoi, where there are so many bikes they recreate the issues with cars, the freedom and flexibility of 90%+ of the population using motorbikes is good for your soul. The emissions of 8 million 10 year old bikes is bad for your lungs tho.
China is kinda ahead in that they have both bikes, ebikes/scooters, and public transit, but theres way more cars.
Ok, 156cc, i was just thinking a Honda winnerx or a yamaha exciter 155 is a little underpowered for short highway trips.
We should train mountain lions to be comfortable around humans, so they can hunt down feral cats and dogs to stop them from killing local wildlife and polluting rivers.
Eagles could work too.
All active duty soldiers should be get a free, non-transferrable 1000+cc motorcycle.
Cities/towns under 1 million should ban cars within the city limits, but remove all liscensing requirements for <200cc motorcycles.

18·2 months agoGTA is a disgusting franchise
Because of this nobody noticed how woke GTA:SA was. If you depicted the CIA smuggling cocaine and weapons into black communities while the justice system imprisons young black men with wildly disparate sentencing 2025, the game would be canceled, by the kind of chuds who just see “cool violence!”
You don’t have to tell me what happened, but you have to eat all these behelits.
Having had to sleep in nature a few times, whatever is under your head>body>space>temperature.
Temperature is solved by wearing more layers.
You can fall asleep with your your legs curled up or even supporting your body a bit, you can’t fall asleep with your head on an uneven rock.
