Yea this is a good point. I think bicycles should be required to have some lights at least to make them more visible to drivers.

Nope, I read the description pretty clearly "A place to discuss problems of car centric infrastructure or how it hurts us all."

My question stems from the fact that certain areas expect cyclists to share the road with cars while drivers are protected by higher safety standards, and cyclists are exposed to a higher level of danger.

Yea I guess it comes to the infrastructure, I'm in Chicago and we seriously need more REAL bike lanes, not something just painted on the road. I see drivers doing crazy shit all the time swerving into bike lanes almost hitting cyclists. I'm just really still confused about the logic of forcing cyclists to ride on the road where there are no bike lanes while the side walks are wide enough for them.

Safety standards like seat belts, airbags, turn signals, brake lights. Things that protect the individual operating the vehicle.

That makes sense, so why aren't bikes allowed on the side walk? Based on your argument.

 

Can someone explain this to me?

It's always funny how few people consider that AI might actually help you write better code. Instead, the discussion is reduced to “vibe coding” versus fully manual coding.

I bought a used Chevrolet Bolt '23 which is the closest I could get, they're still relatively cheap and mine has been working great.

Linux Mint because it's extremely simple and has caused me no issues for over a year. It's the best distribution to get someone who is afraid to switch from Windows or MacOS to understand that using Linux can be just as easy.

I stopped eating beef about 4 years ago. It was a great decision. I much prefer pork/poultry anyway.
