plus, certain places - like the city where I live, for example - opt for infrastructure and traffic rules that favour cyclists and pedestrians. that also helps

yeah, let's keep things just the way they are and stop hoping that societal changes can be a motor for improvement

all I'm saying is there aren't alternatives YET, but situations like this could create a positive change in mindset and eventually infrastructure as well. fine by me if you want to be a glass-half-empty kind of person

have no other option yet

sometimes I'm really glad that I'm European

but, and I realise this might be a bit utopian, the more people (have to) use alternative modes of transportation, the more the need for better infrastructure will grow. domino effect and all that

Taylor???

That's mainly a problem for car-brained people. There are other modes of transportation, you know.

Agree with this one! More people being thoughtful about their mode of transportation is a positive aspect

oooh I'll call them Triss Merigolds from now on

tagetes (is it the same in english? idk?), cornflower and hollyhock. to be planted in the garden for pollination and to keep some insects away from the fruits and vegetables (when we finally plant them in april/may)

not scary ... not scary at all
