That won't happen. "But mah lifted 20" truck with custom rims and paint job 47 trump bumper stickers and a jeebus fish!" is the next thing out of the yokels' mouths, right after, "But mah freedumbs" when anyone mentions gun control, separation of church and state, or gender reveal parties not killing the parents and 18 guests plus four bystanders who just happened to be in the area.
Our great great grandchildren won't even have a cycle culture at this rate.

Reply to U.S. GDP rose 2.9% in the fourth quarter, more than expected even as recession fears loom by Intrepid-Astronaut41
Republicans and their lapdogs in the media are trying their hardest to manufacture a recession to help their electoral chances.

Until you find out how much money they spent on it.
Edit: all these downvoters....65 million could revamp every bike stall in the country. This is one and is a trek to and from the facility. Defeats the purpose of bike convenience.

Amazing engineering.
Is it really the first time he's caught a baseball in his life though? He never caught one with his left hand?

I’m not that old, but I remember that, when I was young, “human-controlled robotic hand that can grab objects” was the absolute cutting edge of mechatronic engineering. Now high school students can build a dextrous prosthetic for their classmate. How far we’ve come.

Misleading title and article. But so it goes. I hope conservation efforts succeed. Actually upon further review some of the information in the article is just straight up not correct. Lol.

Amsterdam (and the bulk of the Netherlands) is almost perfectly flat, so biking is easy, the cities and towns are older, so densely built which makes biking convenient, and the weather is milder, without extended periods of heavy snowfall. Does rain and does get cold, but people in Copenhagen are crazy like that and will bike through it.
For this to happen elsewhere like in NA you need an urban redesign to cram a lot of people into much smaller spaces. Which I’m somewhat game for

Wtf that looks futuristic. The bike "garage" in my city, at the main train station, fulfills several purposes such as being a shelter for birds and a big toilet for a few people that don't like normal toilets.

As someone who has spent years…. In the wild for National Geographic…
I disagree with this comment.

So, working at the Omaha zoo, I can say that this isn't correct for here, which is an AZA accredited zoo. How we have gotten most if not all of our animals is through rehabilitation. For example, one of our giraffes has a stump back leg as well as a few other problems that would have cause her to die out in the wild. So, rather than having that happen, we give her a full life here where she will be alive.

I call bullshit. I work in a SNF, there’s PLENTY of obese senior citizens.
Wait
But then again, they probably DON’T see them because they’re in the SNF.

They wouldn't need care for if we stop pulling them from the wild for our own amusement.... checkmate.

Let’s zoom out and then back in a little on the US. It’s an enormous country, and a lot of those yokels live where it’s many miles between anything of interest. Those folks still don’t need lifted trucks in most cases, but bikes aren’t a viable solution. If we look at dense cities, absolutely, bikes and public transit make a zillion times more sense than a sea of individual autos clogging the roads. Those cities are where the infrastructure push makes sense.
