    Videos idea: disabled transport in netherlands, how do people move around when they cannot cycle.

    Since one of the major copium people have about car dependency is disabled people/elderly have a hard time riding bike. Yet, in reality, it is much more expensive/dangerous to put a disabled/elderly in a car than public transport or a electric wheel chair than in a car.

    On the other hand, I am also curious whether a electric wheelchair will congest the bike lane, given the bike lane is kind of narrow.

      NJB already featured the tiny four-wheeled car thingy that people use for exactly this. Idk which video exactly, but it’s there for anyone to comb through.

      Being orange-pilled is painful in situations like this; you know the exact thing the Dutch already figured out but unless you have the exact video ID and timestamp on the ready you’d have a hard time pushing back the cope-ists. Even the ones that insists there’s no way these people are mobilizing outside of public transport.

            We also have this figured it out in Canada too. In Montréal these things are bomb around year-round:

            Edit: code-18 attaching the image.

            Edit 2: erroneously assumed others were Canadian. Just because Jason rags on Fake London all the time, doesn’t mean I should assume other are aware our intricacies.

      I think it may, but not by much really… Cargobikes and the style of bike commonly used in the netherlands has handlebars that are pretty wide already.
