I don't know, I'm not an expert on this field.

You bike from your home to the station mate.

I think he's implying that he should be given a prosthetic by default (or at the very least have reasonable access to one) instead of having to rely on the goodwill of his classmates. Not a terrible point.

I'd say it differs. First of all: you don't have to bike. We stil have cars. We have buses. We have trams. Etc. Thinking that you are left out of society if you don't bike is a very odd notion. Biking is simply nice and convenient.

In terms of accessibility the Netherlands is not as good as for example the USA is in some matters - their disability act is really great. Having said that: one benefit in Amsterdam is that it's a compact, walkable, bike-friendly city. And I reckon that often lends itself well to being disabled. You don't have to worry about driving somewhere, you can just walk (or roll) to the supermarket. But no personal experience!

For parents it differs what they do! Often they'll still have a car for some stuff (cars in general are common, just less necessary). But you can also put your kid on your bike with you, there are special bike seats for kids that you can put on your bike, very akin to a car seat. And bakfietsen (bin bikes) are very popular for parents with young children. You just put the kids in the bin. Kids also learn to bike from a young age.

I'd argue that their river holds way more bikes underwater than this parking garage will ever hold.

Our new towns, cities and neighborhoods also have great biking infrastructure. So nothing to do with being old.

As for happening elsewhere: it doesn't have to happen everywhere. But there are tons of places in the world that are perfectly suitable for biking and have very lacking infrastructure. Heck: even if it is just for the months without snow.

The fact that California hasn't done it goes to show that it's not just a matter of climate.

For a lot of the other States better bike infrastructure and public transport are possible too I reckon. Especially with the popularity of e-bikes.

It's definitely less convenient than the current bike flat though.

Who watches the watchers?

Really? So you have HEARD the thing? Cause i could not find any footage of it actually spinning...

If it worked they would've given us one second of sound from that propeller.. But, i can't find any examples of the sound. Which to me, makes this a scam.

Yeah, I remember reading this story where they force this poor guy Ernst Röhm to shoot himself because they found out he was gay.

Bike paths can be used by mobility scooters and mini cars (literally one-seaters). It actually has excellent mobility options for the disabled.

Access to stores is tougher because lots of buildings (mostly in the centrum) still have narrow stairs and narrow doors.

Also I think you have misunderstood me.

I don't mean run out of energy as in "have zero energy available to us". Of course I realise that's not what you meant. I mean run out of energy as in "no longer have enough energy to maintain our current level of modern civilisation". Which correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe that's what you are suggesting will happen to us within the next 200 years?

You're gonna go far, kid!

No we won't. I mean temporarily sure the cost of energy will increase until it reaches a point that it makes the expenditure required to develop the infrastructure for other erergy options economically viable.

After that, near limitless energy that is far cheaper to generate than the current paradigm.

I just hope it's not AI invents biogeneraters after we scorch the sun interesting.

Too old to discover the world, too young to discover the stars but the right age to discover AI.

I’d say that is pretty exciting, for now.

Imagine having a black or blue bicycle and forgetting where you left it.

Or AI can be used for infinite ads generation

Anyway, low noise is indeed good news.

Just use another form of AI to detect something like that.

Closed wing

>A closed wing is a wing that effectively has two main planes which merge at their ends so that there are no conventional wing tips. Closed wing designs include the annular wing (commonly known as the cylindrical or ring wing), the joined wing, the box wing and spiroid tip devices. Like many wingtip devices, the closed wing aims to reduce the wasteful effects associated with wingtip vortices which occur at the tips of conventional wings. Although the closed wing has no unique claim on such benefits, many closed wing designs do offer structural advantages over a conventional cantilever monoplane.
