@PhatalFlaw @destructdisc increase in retail sales indirectly but quantatively measures it. Or at least it probably does, it’s hard to imagine that more relaxed shoppers aren’t more likely to return sooner.

For reference, when was the street invented? And for what?
LovesTha🥧@floss.socialto Bicycling@lemmy.world•Bike Helmets: Stupid Hat or Essential Protection?1·1 month ago@over_clox Yes, the concept is from rail, but it applies to all crossings/intersections.
The point is we lost a lot when we decided that it was okay for death machines to have right of way all around us. We shouldn’t accept it as normal.

LovesTha🥧@floss.socialto Bicycling@lemmy.world•Bike Helmets: Stupid Hat or Essential Protection?2·1 month ago@over_clox why are cars allowed there. That is the way around I’m pushing
LovesTha🥧@floss.socialto Bicycling@lemmy.world•Bike Helmets: Stupid Hat or Essential Protection?11·1 month ago@over_clox at grade crossings should be rare ;)
LovesTha🥧@floss.socialto Bicycling@lemmy.world•Bike Helmets: Stupid Hat or Essential Protection?3·1 month ago@over_clox The key bit there being, why are cars allowed on things that were safe for pedestrians?
LovesTha🥧@floss.socialto Bicycling@lemmy.world•Bike Helmets: Stupid Hat or Essential Protection?41·1 month ago@lgsp I’m a fan of requiring them over 25kmph. Yes this is largely unenforcable, so no one will be fined. But it still gives the message that if you go fast you should wear one.
But it also gets out of the way of people riding to the corner store for milk
LovesTha🥧@floss.socialto Bicycling@lemmy.world•Bike Helmets: Stupid Hat or Essential Protection?6·1 month ago@over_clox @lgsp no, motorised vehicles shouldn’t be able to hit pedestrians and cyclists. Mostly because their is a right to walk, not drive a car.
LovesTha🥧@floss.socialto Bicycling@lemmy.world•Cyclists who kill pedestrians could be jailed for life under new law1·2 months ago@atzanteol @CompactFlax read the article, it is just expanding the current vehicle laws it include cyclists.
So in all likelyhood cyclists will get slaps on the wrist like drivers to.

@Doofytoe @grumpo_potamus When I commuted regularly rain on the way to work was a reason not to ride, the risk of rain on the way home wasn’t. Maybe if the office had a good shower I would have ridden to work in the rain too.

@ExtremeDullard thinner first layer (many profiles default to a thicker first layer), colour sequence too.
Those would be the first things I’d try.
