If you live in a major metropolitan area, you understand that things are only going in one direction.
1) Roads are getting more and more crowded every day with worse traffic jams
2) The quality of the roads is going to shit.
There's a couple things going on. Our population is growing and we aren't building more infrastructure. People are moving to major areas because that's where the jobs are. If you're in an area that's worth moving to, it's getting more crowded from population growth and net migration in.
There's something else going on if you live in a liberal state. I live in the Bay Area so I'm going to use my region as a reference from this point on. There's a strong lobby of progressives who call themselves "YIMBYs" and they're pro high density growth around public transportation. That's not all, they also think you are a piece of shit if you use a car to get around. They think you should be riding your bike or riding a bus with all the nogs to get around, and they're lobbying the government to take away parking, make 4 lane roads 2 lane roads with bike lanes, and divert money from road maintenance to public transportation.
So roads are getting more traffic and they're getting worse. If you rely on the highway to get to your job, you're already behind the curve. But you're also a cucked wagefag. That's because you're wasting hours of your life to get to and from somewhere you have to be. If you're on the freeway, you're not just putting in unpaid time, you're actually spending a lot of the money you earn at work on having a mode of transportation to get to and from your wagecage. You're taking the freeway, sitting in traffic, and wasting hours of your day because you CAN'T afford to live close enough to just drive on surface streets or use a different way to get there.
In conclusion, you should be making enough to live close to where you work because the roads are only going to get worse and you're a cuck if you're on the freeway.
Very true, NYC here and its actually incredible how bad the roads & traffic are getting. I've long switched to bike commute since I live like 20 minutes from work so I don't give a fuck though. And I intentionally fuck up drivers just to make drivers' mornings just a little more miserable. If I can make just one car miss a green light per commute then I am doing my job. Your hatred for cyclists is rational - we are intentionally fucking with you drivie wagies
Jayden Cooper
I used to drive 45 min.
Then I quit that shit job and got one 10 minute walk from my apartment (literally 1km). The difference is fucking unreal.
Adrian Long
I don't like riding my bike around cars which is why I just live somewhere with good mountain biking. DESU though cities should have dedicated bike streets so bikes and vehicles don't have to share lanes. It would get a lot more people on bikes too if they didn't have to fear getting runover by some retard browsing facebook while they drive to their wagecage

I used to drive 50 minutes each way when I was wagecaging. I had to fill up the tank twice a week and it amounted to about a day’s worth of wage. So basically every week I’d have to wagecuck a whole day just so I can actually make something for the rest of the week
Ian Gray
I live and work right on the edge of the Bay Area. There's a highway pass that goes from the central valley to the bay area called the Altamont pass. All the construction workers and taco bell employees who can't afford to live in the Bay sit in 4 hours of traffic every day trying to cross the altamont to their shitty homes in the central valley aka shitfarm cuckland. It's all Mexicans. They spend so much money on gas and put so many miles on their cars and spend so much time sitting in traffic, they will never make it. They're just a horde of forever poors and they ruin traffic for everyone else. When there's a big rig crash on the altamont, traffic in the Bay Area is really nice because everyone in the central valley stays where they belong. Honestly I wish they were all deported.
Ryder Cooper
You know a majority of European cities have already moved back to bicycle/public oriented transport in the last decade, moving back to bike lanes and electric trolleys. The reason being that parking, accidents, gas emissions and all that other shit are actually quite detrimental. I would honestly rather live in a chic bike-commuter city anyday over a massive parking lot dump full of the smell of gas and the sound of honking horns all day. You're right though, there should definitely be a better initiative to separate bike & vehicle lanes, as well as fixing traffic and road conditions. But that will never ever happen because we are too busy sending money to Israel and sucking jobs out of smaller cities making the entire country into a vast abandoned warehouse with a couple of rich coastal cities - we have arrived gentlemen, we are approaching becoming Russia 2.0
Adam Butler
I take the highway to work. Its a 10 minute drive with zero traffic ever. I havent seen a nigger in real life in months. You jelly metropolitan fag?
Jose Foster
I want to drive, and I want other people to ride public transit. What I really want is to just go back in time to the 80s when California had millions of less mexicans and punjabis living here. The land was wide open.
You're right about parking lot dumpvilles. I hate commuters and would rather live in a hipster faggot bike land but they don't exist in the Bay Area. Berkeley is the closest you get with their street barricades but the traffic in Berkeley is awful
Isaac Parker
Don't get me wrong, I'd love to drive as well, but its just not feasible in our cities these days. Like you said, if you can have a comfy drive to work then that's one thing. But you just cant anymore. I think that me being a bikefag, and you being a driver, we can both agree that we are not each others enemies. The real enemies are the migrants and politicians that need to all be hung.
Brody Edwards
kek. The problem is simply that the vast majority of people cannot ride a bike. It requires a lot of (physical) coordination and (mental) brain power not to mention visual perception to track all the moving objects, landscape, cars, everything.
Wyatt Wilson
It's really not hard at all. It's just that it can be dirty and gritty (especially in rainy conditions) hence it is perceived as low class. I never take it personally though when someone tries to shit on me for bike commuting though - I know its just because they're just as miserable at their jobs as I am at mine, and are just trying to come off as better than me to make themselves feel a little better.
Caleb Cox
Commuting can't be reformed. It hurts you in proportion to the time spent.
Connor Hall
Nah, you don't understand, check out Elon's AI system that uses visual analysis to understand traffic. Riding a bike in traffic takes the same level of situational awareness as a fighter pilot. Average people cannot even begin to combine all the traits you need to be effective riding in traffic. They try it a few times, and quit. And its not because they're stupid- they're smart and realizing its way beyond their capabilities.
Jonathan Cook
I guess why that's why its so fun :^)
Joseph Collins
I used to fucking shred on my motorcycle. But then I moved out of the city because cities are for liberals and minorities, and now I can just drive anywhere in the same amount of time as riding my motorcycle around because there's no benefit to lane splittng in regions without traffic. I have ascended
Jace Morris
Creating a network of bike paths would be relatively cheap compared to roadways its just that civil planning commissions make political and financial capital from expensive construction and infrastructure projects. A controlled intersection can easily cost half a million dollars to achieve less efficiency than a 50k roundabout and require expensive maintenance forever. Its a fucking boondoggle. Infrastructure is a money pit. Congress is about to burn $2tn and will make absolutely no improvement except to merely keep what is falling apart to continue in its present condition.
Matthew Allen
Yeah, I once thought people would get into it, but I just look around, people can barely walk across a parking lot to buy a bag of chips... let alone walk a mile or sweat... There is no way at the rate the vast majority of the population is degenerating. Still, recreational biking is popular and we still manufacture far more bikes than cars.
Jason Scott
This is peak wagescam
Daily reminder all metropolitans cities during the 20/30's in the US were fully equipped with super cheap electric trams and everyone loved them. You had very few cars in town, no noise, and the road was for pedestrians mostly. But then the 7 sisters (conglomerate of the biggest oil cartels) made a deal with Ford and GM to use a fake tram front company and purchased every single tram companies in the country and dismantled them all few years after. The ppl were pissed as fuck but the politicians did nothing because the big oil companies corrupted politicians and told the gubment the oil taxes would add huge revenues to the states.
What the oil companies didn't told to the gubment is the taxpayers were about to spend 50 billions in back then $ during the next decade to adapt the infrastructure for the cars. Mostly in roads. Roads made out of bitumen, bitumen provided by oil companies.
Now everyone love their cars because they want to be as far as possible from niggers, which is understandable. But in a full white and polite population, trams were the way to go and would still be without the rockefellers and kikes pushing for always more niggers.
You burgers should try to learn your own history to understand why you are constantly cucked.
Denver here If any of you faggots make me trade my pick up for a good damn bike I'm going to cut every power/fiber cord I can find in a 200 mile radius
Good point. The only thing you can really do now though is deal with it.
Connor Johnson
You're never going to step down to a bicycle and you know it
Jaxson Martinez
Having a job is getting cucked.
Connor Hernandez
think about this wont you
>devalues as soon as you buy it >pay to repair it >pay to fill it up >mainly takes you to and from slave labor >sits unused most of the time >breaks anyway >built to fail >wars over oil >alternatives look retarded on purpose >too cucked to even think about it
That guy made more than 150k/year AND he lasted only 1.5 yrs in the parking lot. Living there by choice vs having to do it is two different things. Smart lad though
Alexander James
Who else /electricbike/ master race?
Caleb Nguyen
I got fired from my last job by writing them invoices for travel costs at my hourly rate + gas and repairs.
I was trying to get fired since I wanted to ride unemployment for a little bit, so I figured it was an easy way to point out how dumb it was to only pay someone for 8 hours of work if you were taking 11 hours of their time a day.
Holy fuck, I have never seen a boomer boss so enraged. He threw a plaque against the wall while trying to chew me out, which was amazing since I also hit them for a workplace violence suite and settled for 20k.
You want to see some shit? Charge your company for your daily travel costs and watch them go ballistic.
Xavier Perez
I've hit 7 cyclist with my truck on 6 different occasions. I don't know if they all died, but I hit them really hard. I assume at least 6 died. It's funny to me when their friends give me a disapproving stare, trying to see a license number (I still use dealer plates). They cry and yell
Jack Fisher
It does if you're in London
Jayden Jenkins
Based as fuck. I run cyclists off the road whenever I get a chance. Fucking faggots riding at 15mph with no lane, forcing vehicles to swerve around them on winding roads with blind corners.
Hudson Lopez
Bikerfags are the most annoying cucks ever. I live near a large university and you're not wrong when you say that 4 lane roads become 2 lane roads with 2 bike lanes.

I'm not talking about a metaphor. In Oakland they repave the road and its no longer 4 lanes. It's literally 2 lanes with 2 wide ass bike lanes. Then they spend a million dollars on cross walks for pedestrians
Cameron Myers
AHEM. Please read about electric VTOL aircraft, and invest.
3 dimensional travel solves the traffic problem entirely. Also it is significantly CHEAPER and faster because you can travel point-to-point in very straight, efficient lines, with no wasted time sitting in traffic.
Sebastian Watson
They are doing this in London and charge you nearly 23 pound a day if you got a old car to go into the inner city but what the lefty environmentalists down understand is, if you make more roads pedestrian only, how will you get deliveries, moving large construction machinery and and what not around.
Ryan Collins
Sounds like a tremendous HoA fee.

Hunter Jenkins
Bay Area resident here. They are fucking jam packing this place. You see that toll brothers construction in Milpitas off 680? Fucking nuts. Looking at that alone makes me want to leave this place.
Robert Garcia
>worrying about getting to WORK >not worrying a out getting to friends and family How poor and unskilled are all of you? Work is tertiary, if you're important you can work from anywhere or get work anywhere. What's important is being able to get to your friends houses to hang out.
Adam Evans
Shut the fuck up faggot, some of us have bills to pay and families or care for. Never had your ass beat have You?
Nathaniel Perez
This. My moms bf is a supervisor at a big construction company in the bay. Some of his workers commute from Manteca to the bay every day. They get home at 10pm and leave at 4am. I’d off myself desu
Leo Rivera
I live in the middle of the desert, its a 5 mile drive from my house to my job and takes about 10 minutes, absolutely zero traffic. I have a really fuel efficient vehicle too, and I only drive in 3 nights per week. I STILL feel like I'm wasting time/gas/money on my commute. Its not as bad as when I lived in the city, the car commute was 100x worse and taking the bus/train didn't feel much better.
The red pill is either to live within walking distance or simply work from home. I'm trying to get into the latter right now.
Lincoln Bell
Of course not. I dont get why you take pride in losing a fight.
>some of us have bills to pay Yeah that's the bare basic, work is done to take care of your life. Your life is not lived to take care of your work. >and families to take care of Fair enough
Isaiah Brooks
I'm not 23 anymore so I don't care about fraaaans from high school or college. I have a girlfriend that I live with and we go hang out with friends or our parents one night on the weekend when there's not traffic and thats it.
Asher Baker
So because I choose to live close to work I should get paid less than someone with a long commute? Yeah no
Nolan Sullivan
don't listen to his commute cope
Aiden Green
No you're paid the same hourly rate. You give less hours.
Camden Hughes
your commute has no bearing on the performance of the company therefore you don't get to charge for it. Sorry you have to drive 3 hours a day just so you live close to your friend that you play xbox with lmao
Jonathan Ward
So write an invoice for the extra living expense you incur by living close to your workplace, you seething millenial faggot nobody.
I'm not your fucking enemy. The abusive corporations which try to shackle us with wage slavery are.

We have really good bike paths where I live. Traffic here is gay, so it really only takes me an extra five minutes to bike to work. Extra ten to get home though since its all up hill and I'm out of shape :(
I thought we would be recognized for our roundabout masterpieces, but no one knows about them it seems :( It's France.

Mate look at the absolute state of drivers in the morning commute. 99% of cars are single occupant boomers or faggots in leased cars they can barely afford.
Commercial vehicles are maybe 1 in 10. Other 9 will be a single roastie or boomer driving a huge diesel piece of shit to drive to their wageslave from their cuckshed.
David Robinson
I did say negerland though
Carson Nelson
Just imagine the not too distant future as you order a car, it self-drives up to the curb. You hold your nose at the barely concealed scent of sweat and vomit. You are taken to your job which is ironically cleaning and sanitizing Elon's commuter transport platforms. On the other hand, all the cars on the road drive in synchronicity and there are never any jams to kick out
Daniel Phillips
Yeah but sadly before that you develop acute lung cancer from all the diesel fumes in the city from boomer mobiles and die aged 50.
