    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.

    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.

    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.
