Basically me getting lucky that my SO is as orange pilled on pedestrian infrastructure as I am.
NotJustBikes and chill
Climatetown rizz frfr
Gettin' yo partner goin' by talking about survivability of impacts from tank trucks vs low and even mid riding vehicles.
Oh, I want that kind of relationship
If any of my younger friends ask, please tell them I totally understand what those words mean.
Translation:
Pedestrianization advocacy is HOT AS FUCK!
Is that a Dutch thing?
More of a appreciation for a dutch thing tbh
If I can save for it I wanna take them on a bike tour around Amsterdam some day, basically a whole vacation of cruising the bike lanes like we found an IRL mariokart track
DON'T GO TO AMSTERDAM FOR THAT! Anywhere in the Netherlands is great for that, EXCEPT Amsterdam!
It's much closer to Mariokart than to cruising.
You should consider looking into a bike & barge trip. My parents have done a couple put together by a ski club that they're a part of, and it sounds like the kind of trip that you're talking about, only you wake up in a new place every day and bike ride to meet the barge further upriver at the end of the day. I know they do them in and out of Amsterdam, but my parents did one in the Loire River Valley and absolutely loved it.
