    I used to cycle 7 km to work, but now, after moving to suburban village, there is no way to go other way than car. Especially with small kid. Unless you are fit enough to do 25 km every day by bike and risk your life (and potentially kid’s) on the street between cars. So no, there is not realistic to “fuck cars”. I am speaking from European perspective, probably US has the car things much more fucked up.

      I dunno, boss, seems like a plenty good reason to say “fuck cars” to me.

        Yes, I can be pissed by cars for that reason, but will this make them disappear or make less needed? Sure, many people could go by bike not the car and they are just lazy bastards, but some just need a car

        I had to fix the tyre tube every week (cost similar to LPG fuel) until I started to pump for almost maximal pressure. It was fucking frustrating, also without proper infrastructure, riding a bike is not fun at all

      I don’t think you realise how much you’ve been fucked by car. I presume you move out to the suburb not because the city council decided to exile you and never let you stay in the city, you move out because you have a car and can drive 20+km toward your destination, which then mean everything is so out of your way you have to use car to do everything. So no, you’re the one that got fucked by motonormativity and yell “cum inside”, you don’t get to then deny everyone a better solution.

        I moved out by rent prices and because no one wanted to rent a flat for family with two small kids, not because of car 🤦🏻🤦🏻🤦🏻this is one of dumbest hypotheses I’ve ever heard

          most people that prefer suburb did just that.

          Your argument basically just boiled down to “it doesn’t happened to me so it shouldn’t be the case for everyone”, what kind of self absorbed argument is that even?

              Idk, you decide? Not sure why you’re here against the idea when it’s not even about you.
