This Twitter Page Exists To Showcase The Wildest Examples Of Anti-Car People (30 Posts)

It's not that they can't move, it's that they chose not to. It shows right before this that they can and will move in front of humans if they feel they need to.

As someone who doesn't drive..... only buy what you can carry. You'll learn very quickly how much you actually "don't need"

I’ve seen this posted and reposted and all I can really think is of how great of a solution it is to the idea that being homeless is a crime. Sleeping on streets= illegal. Having a car cover? Not illegal. S****y solution for a systematic issue but im thinking time to start using it more

No way 100 fit in that bus

If hating anything is your 'whole personality' it is time to reconsider your personality.

Notice not one of these photos are of the city. In a walkable city you walk in town and only have to drive when you leave town.

It's a toy, for crying out loud! 🙄

You say you have the money, eh?

I'd pay to see a group of 30-40 adults trying to go anywhere on pogo sticks.

It's almost like property owners have rights.

Always pay the delivery fee on appliances - just not worth the hassle

I'd love to seem the live where I live and go a year with just their bike. While holding down a full time job.

There is no way I can buy a weeks worth of groceries for me my husband and two teenage boys and be able to ride on a bike with it all.we easy go through $250 a week. At least 3 gallons of milk. Try riding a bike with that. my bread and eggs would die.

Will get driven over in South Africa, or held up at gunpoint for my bike. Ditto for a motorbike. No easy access public transport either. Oh, and I also have pothole insurance

There's no public transportation to my work the coatless, out of shape, bigots, with poor time management scared the driver away.

Is there a cargo bike that carries 4' by 8' plywood sheets?

Obviously it's not feasible for every person everywhere to trade a car for a bicycle. Anyone who thinks that is so focused on their ideals that they aren't living in reality. Age, physical ability, injuries, responsibilities, available infrastructure, and many other factors make each person's situation unique. People shouldn't have to explain themselves as if this were a moral issue. It's not. It's simply a practical one. We as a planet need to reduce our footprint. If you can do so, then do, but don't be dismissive of others or assume moral inferiority, ignorance, or malice is the root cause of them not achieving the same standard.

Just because I left my house 5 hours earlier than usual doesn't make a bicycle faster than a car. Budget your time my a*s 🙄

I'm disabled so can't cycle & most public transport isn't properly accessible

This business of "bike to work or you're just lazy" really pisees me off. Some of us have bad knees- and I mean, really crappy knees! - that would literally swell up like balloons if the broken ligaments didn't get me first. I would love to get back to cycling, but for now, a car it is.

I spend a loooot less money shopping once a month rather than weekly. not to mention the fact that I already feel like killing people when I go shopping once a month, then every week...

Well, where I live, there are no buses. And using a bike would take me 3 hours to get to my office, bc I can't use the highway, so I'd have to use all side streets. But keep talking about how we're bigots and want the earth to die because we refuse to use buses. As a side note: when I lived within the city limits, I'd started having seizures and while we were figuring out why it was happening, I had to ride a bus to get to work. I thought it was fun! I had to get up 45 min early, but I thought it was great! Also, it was frontal lobe seizures; no reason for me to have them other than being stressed and sleep deprived. It's been 3 years now since I got off the medicine and 8 years since I had my last seizure!

First, my sister and I both have severe disabilities that prevent us from ever riding a bike. I used to bike a lot, but alas... Second, we've lost 2 friends recently (one 6 days ago) in biking accidents and have another who is now a quadriplegic. Additionally, my son was hit by an 18-wheeler while biking several years ago. He spent 2 months in the hospital with head and other physical injuries. We live in a rural town where there is no public transportation. The nearest long-distance bus station is an hour away. The idea of biking everywhere is lovely. Reality doesn't always accommodate our wishes.

Yeah I'll remember how bad cars are when I need to go visit friends and relatives who live over 300 miles away. Oh, and the trains are unreliable, cost an absolute fortune, and are on strike.

Because my work requires me to travel to at least 5 different locations each day with seconds to spare in between.

Id like to see you ride a bike in upstate Ny and not slip and crash due to the ice

There isn't public transportation & I live 30 minutes away from where I work.

"Cars are faster" HA! The Sounder Commuter train from Tacoma to Seattle takes exactly 60 minutes. The same trip at the same time (6:00AM start) takes a minimum of 110 minutes by car.

I'm blind and I have Ehlers Danlos Syndrome (as well as two other severe disabilities).

I have chronic pain and chronic rheumatic inflammation. On bad days I crawl to my home office on all fours but yeah, I'm just lazy

Perishables will go bad in one month.

Ah yes, excuse me while I ride my little bike 18 miles through rural Arkansas backroads to my nearest grocery store and back weekly! It's 98° but *feels like 102°* and it'll take me 5 hours so I won't be able to work but at least I dont have to use a car! /j :D
