“It’s not like the government is forcing you to buy a car!”
If you live in a city with parking minimums, yes they fucking are.

I adore how they use mopeds and scooters in Asia
Yeah I love the smell and sound of a million mopeds. Taiwan is known for its urban serenity.
mopeds aren’t the problem, the problem is that they don’t have enough public transport to handle the sheer absurd amount of people wanting to get places.
imagine how these countries would look if everyone drove a car instead of a moped, society would literally fail because no one would be able to get anywhere
As you point out, they’re not the solution either.
no? but they’re hilariously much better than cars
And what about the smell and sound of cars?
Not as bad from my perception. Though I’m not arguing in favour of cars. I just think mopeds are a strange mobility option to adore. Good public transportation + cycling infrastructure is much more adorable. In the Netherlands, the mopeds are a menace to the safety, quiet, and air quality in cities.
For real, a. E-assist bike seems like it solves most of the same problems a moped does, but much more elegantly.
Yes it’s very safe
All I’m getting from this picture is that the biggest danger to scooter riders is in fact cars.
maybe, but scooter drivers are going to lose unfortunately.
It wouldn’t be as much a problem if there we dedicted lanes for mopeds and other similarly sized vehicles.
