If they’re going to make people ride bikes and scooters in traffic, then it should at LEAST be legal to do the Snow Crash thing where you use a hook-shot-style harpoon to catch free rides from cars.

      Counterpoint: Read panels 6 and 10 again. (The ones beginning “We’ve ceded” and “People approach” if I’ve messed up my counting somehow).

        It really doesn’t matter to me, I hate big cities, and am currently in the process of selling my home to leave one.

          And that’s totally fine. You do you. But

          1. Why do those who like cities have to live in a car-centric hellscape
          2. More people on bikes makes cities more bareble even for people who for some reason like driving because more bikes = less traffic jams and less noise
          3. Why does biking automatically mean big city. Small cities are in theory even better for that since they tend to be more compact. Stuff is less spread out even if the relative density is lower.

          Good, go live in the woods and don’t show your face again. Isolationist weirdos like you are neither welcomed nor needed in society.

            I’m not leaving society, just moving to a better one.
