    It’s a 30 minute bike commute to my work, and less than 10 minutes to various parks, stores, and resturants but there Zero cycling or even pedestrian infrastructure in my medium sized city, even though i frequently see people walking and biking on the side of busy streets or through grass. It’s so risky with all the giant trucks and SUVs speeding around with murderous intent. So sick of this regressive, segregationist city planning. It’s further wrecking our already poor mental and physical health

      The past few years I’ve really come to notice the embiggening of personal vehicles. I’m a 4-5 inches taller than the average height in my country, and I still see so many vehicles come up to above my shoulders. I feel like I’m gonna die every time I walk down my local stroad to go get groceries, they’re literally bigger than tanks and they can hit over 200km/h.
