I was recently thinking about buying an elecrtic scooter/bike to get from point A to point B, with everything so close in a city, and traffic being bad. What are your thoughts on cycle-lanes, and cycling/scooting in general?

    Don’t forget poor cardrivers implies ALL the time “forgett ALL others”.

    “Everyone must take care” always implues in discussions “go away fucking cyclists, pedestrisns and public trnsport. Let us cardriver get the whole city”.

      That’s just a perspective that could only make sense in a culture I’ve never met. In all the places I’ve ever lived, most people use most modes of transport - cars, bicycles, buses, trains, and foot. There are no “cardrivers” versus “pedestrians” versus “passengers” versus “cyclists”.

      Sounds like you have bigger problems than just bike-lanes can solve.

        You never lived in vienna/austria. Am i right? You never had discussions with ÖAMTC, FPÖ, SPÖ or ÖVP-People? You never hat discussions about new cycle-lanes vs parking-space in an austrian town like vienna, linz or graz? You never hat discussions about own lanes for bus or tramway in one of this cities?

          What’s it like in Vienna? Sounds this issue is quite politically-charged and polarised.

          It reminds me of how people approached the issue ten or twenty years ago.

          Hopefully the Viennese will get over that stupid argument, like other peoples already have.
