At first I was gonna say you are all wet, there is a long history going back to railroads on rolling resistance, then i found these guys (co incidentally, harris bike is around the corner from my house)

which led me to

it would appear, that in the real world, the situation is quite complex….

PS: anyone who has anything like “at war with the motorist” is my kinda guy

Їзджу на цих покришках прибл. 2 тижні.
Вибором задоволений.
Різницю в їзді між Schwalbe Hurricane та Schwalbe Snow Stud відчув відразу. Це впевнена їзда по снігу з льодом, через снігові кучугури. Проте не дає 100% впевненості на льоду, всього 100 шипів (Але ж зима на те й зима, щоб їздити обережно). Катаюсь кожен день на роботу прибл, 25 км. Зауважень не маю.

(according to Babelfish:
Hi everyone!

Ïzdžu on these pokriškah approx. 2 weeks.
The choice of content.
The difference in driving between Schwalbe Hurricane and Schwalbe Snow Stud felt immediately. This is a confident riding through the snow with ice, snow.)

You did miss the point somewhat — this is not about littering, and it is instead about how driving a car gives people license to do things that would be considered destructive and rude in any other circumstance. That you don’t see this as rude is entirely my point — if the effect is obnoxious (killing animals and leaving them on public ways; smashing dropped valuables instead of picking them up to put them somewhere safe) why isn’t the behavior that causes that effect also seen as obnoxious? What causes you to decide that the behavior that produces obnoxious outcomes is not itself also obnoxious?

All cars can’t be replaced by bicycles. Some can, but not all. Car riders and their passengers may even drop more things than bike drivers or not; there are so many more that a much lower percentage of car riders could litter and still leave the vast majority of trash, etc., on the multi-use roadways. The negligence of even a few has made a mess of curbs and shoulders everywhere.

But you don’t have any idea who, why or how that mouth guard got on the road. You don’t know but you wrote a morality play that lays the blame in comfortable well-worn ruts. I would have preferred to read a more nuanced piece but you obviously didn’t write it for me.

Now go over all your libraries in ALL open projects, see which source is attached to them, and verify that Eclipse doesn’t complain about it.

In Eclipse we trust.

The other thing I would hope to get at is an increase in the fraction of trips were a bicycle is “adequate for the job”. Right now, for me (someone who enjoys biking, so not currently normal case in this country) that is about 50%. It’s not 75%, and that means that keeping a car (an old car) running is still an interesting option. Anything that gets the AFTJ fraction up increases the chance that I’ll just punt on the car, get rid of it, and for those trips where the bike is not “adequate”, either suck it up and make do, or else pay for delivery, borrow/rent a car, etc.

Or to put it differently one more way, building new better cities is expensive and hard. Selling people e-bikes need not be, installing helpful infrastructure need not be, either. Reduce car use, and you’ll see slow change in city patterns.

Another option that I saw I think on the google discussion of this problem is to allow ALL applications to access the Google update servers; presumably, that is not a useful website for Bad Guys to access.
