    Yank tanks truly are the peakest of cringe. I’d be embarrassed to show up in one of those things

      Some dude drives on of those where i live. I’ve never seen it move, it’s always parked on the same spot where it doesn’t fit. Completely with aouthern state flag and stickers that say that only gay cops pull him over and how every car that is not a v8 is for girls. I’d be so embarrassed to drive that thing.

    Either way, around here I almost always see both end up doing stupid shit on the road. I don’t give a fuck what you’re driving. Obey the rules of the road, follow the flow of traffic, be aware of your surroundings, and for fucks sake, signal properly and clearly! Nobody’s in a race. We can all get where we’re going safely and timely if y’all just stop acting like you’re escaping a war zone!

    Ain’t that the truth. I’m constantly fighting this fight in my own city where we only get bike gutters, not even lanes. Complain complain complain from the people who claim they care about the neighborhood.

    Definitely not the correct place to ask, but does anyone know what brand or model ebike that is?

    My car is closer in size to the bicycle than the truck.

    Also, most of these trucks around here have an orange triangle at the back and are driven by teenagers.

      Damn those triangle cars are always getting in the way. Even the little ones.

    I’ve seen 4 rams around my town drivers all look the same, they’re all very clean, never seen it parked as they can’t fit it anywhere one guy did get stuck and laughed at in his big yellow truck by a lot of people last time I’ve seen him

      I have an ancient tiny pickup (don’t get me started on EVs or how a van is better, I’m aware but poor and I don’t live/work in a city) and I’d say about 1-2 times a week when daily driving I’ll get mocked by someone with a giant, lifted, accent-lighted, chrome-trimmed, perfectly-unscathed monstrosity. Usually some form of homophoplbic slur to describe my vehicle choice.

      I fill up for less than half the price, and I fit right next to most regular cars. I still park out in the empties because I don’t like being next to other vehicles, but I don’t have to.

      Honestly I’d love an EV with a minivan size profile, truck clearance, and the enclosed rear is all cargo space. Literally all of my hobbies and work things would fit in it, and since I live on a hill in the middle of fields, I get a lot of wind and solar.

      Of course, I’d love it even more if I could take a nap on a train with space for an equipment cart while I travel half an hour to work, but the next ice age will happen before passenger trains become that widespread.

        Proper working man’s pickups those unlike the new ones that have all this fancy shite that you wouldn’t want in a work vehicle

        I’ve had people argue that all the fancy stuff is needed in a work vehicle

        Nobody’s mad at someone using a reasonably sized pickup when they need the functionality. The goal is the least polluting vehicle you can reasonably get for your use case.

    I’ve actually never had anyone in a monster truck tell me I should buy a monster truck. So…by unfortunate definition…

    One gets accused of being an inbred redneck as they “roll coal” at the other one, while the other one sneers at regular people. They’re both bags of rancid dicks for very different reasons.

      I don’t know about where you live. But here cyclists stick to the cycling paths almost all the time. A simple chime or ring from their bell will do just fine to let people know if they’re coming. No need for sneering buddy. Let go of your anger.

      Also, fuck cars.

      “Regular people” meaning the masses who have normalized shitty and selfish behavior. The sneers are well fucking earned.

        Regular people meaning people who know someone else using a bicycle doesn’t harm them in any way therefore they don’t care. The truck guy and the bike guy however won’t stfu about it.
