I see. And even understand this conflict. For me the best way is to accept pedestrians and slow down the speed. The other way, insist or enforce „your rights“, will lead to agression. We have this situation already in some dense city areas, where cars, bikes, and pedestrians kind of fight for the small space. It’s just stressful for eceryone.

Do you know this one? It’s a disused railroad track in a hilly industrial city Wuppertal/ Germany with some bridges and tunnels. A community effort turned it into a bike & pedestrians trail along the city. A nice ride with many nice views. https://youtu.be/G5rTdihmagk?is=_0YkMt4Fek7_NLlE

Nice one. Love to see it.

However, as European it feels sort of standard traffic mx. In our city centers are many pedestrians and bikers.

If you want to get the real feeling, try a bike highway in the Netherlands. Never did it myself. It’s still on my bucket list https://youtu.be/ynwMN3Z9Og8?is=oK8XCSuHsf6hgP1n They even have bike traffic jams sometimes ;-D

Pedestrians in the US? Are you kidding?

I‘ve read a study somewhere that compared car and bike commutes. I turned out that people were much happier riding bike and have real life interactions with people at the streets than sitting alone in an iron box and drive a car.

Despite this, having the same times as you, I enjoy riding bike more because the commute time is always the same. Nobody can stop you on a bike. No traffic jams, no accidents that blocks a road, no rush hour stress.

Wow, can the Tech-Bros bridge the Democrats-Republican-Divide in US? Everyone hates these Uberrich oligarchs (how we call them in Germany „way-too-rich“)

A German regional court has ruled that Google is directly liable for false claims in its AI-generated search overviews.

Unfortunately, the regional court is the lowest court stage. This will climb up until highest German court and after this to the EU court, I expect to see.

Being then a „Grundsatzurteil“ that is leading all courts in Germany. Our legal system isn’t case driven.
