    Really just seems like a dumb thing to be opposed to. You anti-car weirdos have a lot of issues with a lot of things, and not really much in the way of logistically viable solutions.

    In reality, how many instances have you or anyone reading this seen of anyone being cited by police or hassled by anyone about not wearing a helmet? I don’t think it’s stopping anyone. I never wear a helmet when I ride my mountain bike. I ride all over the place in town, on the sidewalks or what the fuck ever I want to do. Nobody cares. Police have better things to worry about, like how to find some drugs or steal somebody’s money.

      I’m anti car? Sure thing buddy. Excellent assumption there given that I’m a big petrol head.

      But because I also believe that they’re not the solution to 99% of urban mobility that means I’m anti-car?

      There are a multitude of viable alternatives to car reliance, many of which are currently already in application and shown to be incredibly effective already. But of course that doesn’t fit your narrative of trying to make out that cars are the only way to get around.

      Remember that American cities were demolished for cars in the post war era. If you can demolish to make room for cars, then you can build to accommodate people.
