YES !!
IMO, and this may earn me a lot of blocks, the bicycling community on twitter (and, I think, on mastodon) is incredibly arrogant and insensitive; they seem to think that everyone is willing and able to ride 5 miles ow with their kids in the rain

The culture change is inevitable.
Those with lifestyles currently dependent on cars (or planes, even!) need to have a good think on how to change that lifestyle. And they need to stop immediately with the immature "But my lifestyle...!"
Their choices in life brought them and us here. So I tell them: grow up already and change your life to fit into planetary boundaries!

Kids ARE dying already bc car-addicts have caused and still worsen climate change!

@anlomedad_real @Hello57 @yrochat @davidho Being a parent is a lifestyle? How about being a caregiver? poor? old? disabled? I'm not sure what point you're intending to make but it sure sounds like "if you can't keep up fuck you"

It takes a lot more will to be a pedestrian. This is a systemic problem creating generations who've been boxed in by a system that forces them to drive. I'm disappointed that more people do not fight it; but admit it's a problem to expect everyone to be in a position to fight.

Ie. Stop forcing people to drive with bad infrastructural investments.
