This is both awesome and frightening as hell.

I recently learned that bacteria in the human body outnumbers human cells 10 to 1

Is this a possible path forward in a post-antibiotic world?

So you bike to lot and pick up your other bike to go to work. Most people keep their bikes at home.

Then tell me why Finland has amazing bike infrastructure even close to the Arctic circle?

And it's well used all year round!

Free for the first 24h but 1.35€ fee a day after, it will eventually pay itself back too and that's incredibly cheap compared to car parking, hope it will promote people taking the bike to Amsterdam.

That was wonderful - thank you for that.

>despite their intentions

No. BECAUSE!

getting cars off the streets creates better driving experiences for the cars/drivers remaining on the street.

You are a negative comment.

Carcross!! The most northern desert in the world. On the shores of Bennett lake in the Yukon. Absolutely gorgeous place

I merely used California as an example of where biking could work . I’m aware that in much of the US it wouldn’t work. Biking will never be a viable form of transportation in low density/low population areas. But in regions where a huge percentage of the US lives, it absolutely would work. Your last paragraph is my point, we are in agreement. I think rather than just looking at the US as a whole, individual regions should be the focus for these kinds of things.

You will often encounter mobility scooters on the bike paths so guess it is quite a plus to have such an extensive and connected network of segregated bike paths to use to independently navigate your city. There's also very good public transport and car infrastructure too. As for babies - they just go on the bike as the other reply said.

Narrator: we are the bacteria.

Let's focus on that definition of "cure" very carefully.

And let's be real here, these options will only be accessible to the extremely wealthy.

So, original comment mentioned the "US".

You narrowed it down to California for your point, but now it's the entire US? Well which is it? I'm confused.

I can tell you this would never work country wide. Hence my comment. In some states, maybe. Not as a country though. Too big. Basically, pick the big cities that stay warm, those are potentially your only options.

Headline..."it was tasked with creating anti-microbial proteins."

Me: Wow, I'm sure glad I'm not a super-organism made up of a collection of microbial cells and organisms.

Uh, the US is massive so these types of things are generally state issues, not national ones. Urban California and rural Mississippi have very different needs. Having a national pro-biking policy would never work. Heck, this is more of a city issue than a state one to be honest. I never stated this is a national thing. Some places will never have proper biking infrastructure by default.

If it can fit 7000 bicycles, it can certainly fit some cars.

And this is why things never change and we’ll be the deaths of ourselves
