Re: How the hell is a 7,000 person town Urban? Angel Barchild Send a noteboard - 04/07/2010 12:30:43 AM
We have around 7 stoplights. There was a 1 car taxi service once but it went out of business around 25 years ago.


You have 7! Wow you must be in a big city. We only have 2. :P

Let me guess. You live in an American suburb. *NM* Ghavrel - 28/06/2010 06:12:24 AM 546 Views
Yeah, the "sport" part gives that away even more than everything else... *NM* Legolas - 28/06/2010 08:06:03 AM 559 Views
seriously, you think people didn't use bikes as transportation anymore!! *NM* LadyLorraine - 28/06/2010 08:26:36 AM 642 Views
LOL bikes? transportation? What?!??! get a car you european *NM* MalkierKnight - 30/06/2010 03:14:58 AM 514 Views

I think you missed the part... LadyLorraine - 28/06/2010 06:22:35 AM 1029 Views
That was offensive to cyclists. People who think like you are why so many of us die. *NM* Tim - 28/06/2010 08:28:24 AM 622 Views
Now that I've calmed down a bit, I'm going to actually address your points. Tim - 28/06/2010 12:16:10 PM 1401 Views
hey now! LadyLorraine - 28/06/2010 01:18:16 PM 935 Views

I understand that what he said offended you ßelals Girl - 28/06/2010 04:11:57 PM 1163 Views
You're right, I was stereotyping and getting a little ad hominem. I'm sorry. *NM* Tim - 29/06/2010 08:33:20 AM 600 Views
My social capital at this site is pretty low, so I don't mind admitting that I agree with MK. Aemon - 28/06/2010 04:12:42 PM 1035 Views

Highways are, of course, a different matter. Rebekah - 28/06/2010 07:32:50 PM 1088 Views

It is illegal to drive on the shoulder. Joel - 29/06/2010 09:43:40 AM 1169 Views
i'm pretty sure bicycles are banned from almost all highways, regardless of access LadyLorraine - 29/06/2010 02:34:00 PM 957 Views
Maybe I should have said "modern roads." Aemon - 28/06/2010 08:20:55 PM 1142 Views
Perhaps. Rebekah - 28/06/2010 08:36:15 PM 1193 Views
I think we just disagree on the necessity is all. Aemon - 28/06/2010 09:00:44 PM 965 Views
Matters of degree, I suppose. Rebekah - 28/06/2010 09:07:40 PM 978 Views
Yes, because that cyclist is SUCH a hazard to you in your car. LadyLorraine - 29/06/2010 01:03:05 AM 1118 Views
The central issue is people. Joel - 29/06/2010 09:52:22 AM 1096 Views
you keep talking about cyclists on highways as if it applied to all roads. LadyLorraine - 29/06/2010 02:37:31 PM 1155 Views
There are TWO equally important points there: Joel - 30/06/2010 01:15:17 AM 1157 Views
then why are you arguing with me? I said that the central issue is people being stupid. *NM* LadyLorraine - 01/07/2010 05:59:23 AM 567 Views
Pardon my saying so, but, no, you did not say that. Joel - 01/07/2010 08:01:10 AM 1120 Views

I'd say you have it exactly the wrong way round. Legolas - 01/07/2010 09:41:27 AM 1214 Views
You can't be serious. If you do think that's always (not just sometimes) a viable option, then... Tim - 30/06/2010 09:20:03 AM 1078 Views

Get your head on straight, you silly cyclist MalkierKnight - 01/07/2010 08:02:58 AM 982 Views
He never said there were no buses in our city. He said that, as a student, he can't afford them. *NM* Rebekah - 01/07/2010 08:42:47 AM 579 Views
I'd say most urban areas have few roads with speed limits above 50 km/h (30mph) Floffe - 01/07/2010 10:35:20 AM 1030 Views

my daughter rides her bike on the sidewalk all the time random thoughts - 28/06/2010 06:07:01 PM 1087 Views
In Sweden we often have combined bike and walking paths a few meters to the side of the road Floffe - 28/06/2010 06:22:40 PM 981 Views
True, those aren't really what I'd call sidewalks though. *NM* Legolas - 28/06/2010 07:07:15 PM 639 Views
Not sure, but BlackAdder - 28/06/2010 06:53:14 PM 985 Views
That all depends on what kind of road, I guess. Legolas - 28/06/2010 07:09:52 PM 1117 Views
