I'm all for separated bike lanes etc. They're nicer and safer than riding on the road. however when that doesn't exist the safest way to ride is to behave like a car, so holding the leave etc. Otherwise people try to squeeze past you or your less visible and it gets really dangerous

I'm from Australia and wouldn't have been able to confidently say there wasn't a tunnel between Ireland and England. There are long tunnels in a few places and one there wouldn't be too surprising to me

However trams are a hell of a lot slower moving than a subway because they still have to deal with surface intersections etc. When there's a good subway system it makes transit really fast, much faster than trams

It won't win anyone to your side if you're trying to convince them and say that though. That'll just harden them in their views.

If you really want to reduce the influence of the right then you'd want to stop that sort of language spreading
