Paul Wermer, CC BY-NC-SA 4.0It is amazing how consistent the news about the not-so-good impacts of the way we use automobiles is. Here's another report on life cycle costs.<a href="https://www.eta.co.uk/news/the-hidden-price-of-car-dependency-why-walking-and-cycling-pay-dividends-for-society?utm_medium=email&utm_source=newsletter&utm_campaign=weekly" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://www.eta.co.uk/news/the-hidden-price-of-car-dependency-why-walking-and-cycling-pay-dividends-for-society?utm_medium=email&utm_source=newsletter&utm_campaign=weekly</a>H/T Aarne Granlund, <a href="https://bsky.app/profile/aarnegranlund.bsky.social/post/3lkftbmcuzk2d" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://bsky.app/profile/aarnegranlund.bsky.social/post/3lkftbmcuzk2d</a><a href="https://sfba.social/tags/carDependency" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#carDependency</a> <a href="https://sfba.social/tags/CarCentrism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#CarCentrism</a>

The_Caretaker<a href="https://midwest.social/u/DemBoSain" class="u-url mention">@DemBoSain</a> Village Buys Long Dress For Sexual Assault Victim.I wouldn't accept a car if it were given to me for free. The car costs more money to keep on the road per month than buying a new bicycle every month does. Cars also pollute the air and crush people. Not to mention the environmental effects of roads. Asphalt is toxic waste from crude oil refineries. <a href="https://urbanists.social/tags/VictimBlaming" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#VictimBlaming</a> <a href="https://urbanists.social/tags/FuckCars" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#FuckCars</a> <a href="https://urbanists.social/tags/CarCentrism" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#CarCentrism</a>

SnoopJ<a href="https://mas.to/@meganL" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@meganL</a> yikes. We're experiencing a reversal on infrastructure here in <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/Boston" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Boston</a>, too. The Mayor seems to be mulling a cynical campaign pivot to meet her opponent's anti-bike bids to the <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/CarCentrism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#CarCentrism</a> chuds. Lots of existing improvements under threat pending a "review" (poll, I'm sure) periodwe had a lovely e-trike (Lectric) riding with <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/CriticalMass" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#CriticalMass</a> <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/Boston" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Boston</a> last week in some protest action to compliment some lobbying action to encourage the Mayor not to make a cynical campaign pivot to <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/CarCentrism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#CarCentrism</a> to compete with her anti-bike opponent.It was a pleasure to have <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/Trike" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Trike</a> representation in our mass. It left me thinking about how wonderful it is that we can move in different ways, but share the joy of riding, and stand as political allies. And about how that kind of solidarity isn't specific to bikes in a life well lived.<a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/BikeTooter" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#BikeTooter</a> <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/FediBikes" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#FediBikes</a> <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/MAPoli" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#MAPoli</a>

Natasha Taylor'Oh the person in front of me was doing under the speed limit so I got frustrated and then <insert a self-absolving description for driving recklessly>!'If you lack the emotional regulation to drive safely under the mildest adversity, you're not a 'good driver who occasionally gets frustrated', you're a bad driver who frequently gets lucky.I would go so far as to say 'shouldn't be driving at all', but I recognise a lot of places are impossible to live without a car.<a href="https://sauropods.win/tags/CarCentrism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#CarCentrism</a>
