I appreciate the Harley motorcycle noises spliced into a video of ebikes from a few hundred meters away. Lends to the authenticity.
Teenagers are one of the most underserved demographics in cities. There’s very few if any third places designed for teenagers. Children and adults both have recreational areas designed for them, but teenagers are considered a nuisance almost anywhere.
This is a failure of urban design.
It’s explicitly discriminantly
Where in rural design is a place for teenagers?
The corn field, the gas station, the dairy queen. There aren’t enough dickheads in rural areas to keep kids out.
Having grown up in a rural area, I disagree
Anywhere they go to hang. It’s easier to make your own space in those scenarios
Get out of my corn field!!!
The obvious solution is to just ban teenagers
We’ll just lock everyone in education pods from ages 12-20!
Surely all of these problems would go away if teenagers would simply act rationally and do as they’re told. Has anyone tried explaining this to the teenagers?
Yesterday I heard a nurse/carer in an oldfolks home earnestly saying “I have a lot of interactions with teenagers, they literally don’t care about anything” 🤦
Seems ageist myopia is not uncommon. Do people just completely forget their teenage years? I’m in my 40s and I know kids these days are more anxious, and facing wild times, but otherwise they’re basically the same as we were at that age.
They’ve tried, but nobody speaks their language. Unfortunately even Google translate and ai have difficulty with new stuff as they haven’t been able to incorporate it into their models as yet.
The big fear, from a technical standpoint is that by the time that is done, they will no longer be teenagers and will be able to speak the common tongue. By then, well all be dead from cycle accidents on social media.
All the govt does here is restrict our liberties and fuel the flames to some of the highest costs of living in the world
That’s all the govt does anyplace.
Some places have fascist paramilitary forces murder innocents in the streets. Your mileage may vary.
Ooh we’re tryin’!
Mine just tries to implement whatever Russia, the EEC or US asks for while pretending it’s their own idea and good, actually.
Restrict our liberties?
Like what?
We all know that none of us has been done for their benefit, it’s being done for oppression
I’d much prefer these bikes are on the main bridge platform rather than on the pedestrian part. The article makes it sound like they should have stayed off the road.
I think requiring licences would be sensible at this point. For bikes AND ebokes that are using the roads. Sydney is becoming more bike friendly with cycle lanes, but there are lots of awful cyclists who whizz through pedestrian only areas and ignore bike signage and lights.
Part of the problem is that it’s still car centric. Anywhere there is an intersection, cars are given right of way instead of bikes. That’s starting to change with bike turns across traffic being indicated with a box placing them in front of car cross traffic. So, I you are turning left, from a bike lane.on the right, you wait in a box further right. When the lights change, you cross before the cars do. Seems sensible.
Unfortunately, there are lots of parts where a car turning across traffic or bike lanes is prioritized before bikes going straight.
