    It’s to promote and advocate for alternatives to car dependence.

      What alternatives?? Every post here is either complaining about roads, traffic, or specific cars?? I have yet to see someone go “Ah, just finished a bike run! Feeling real good!”

        Because car infrastructure is totally dominant. There are some posts about advocating for busses, trains, or bike lanes. Most users are in the US though where car dependence is strongly built into the system.

        You can only make so many posts saying how much better trains or busses are at moving people though. It gets old fast. There’s a lot more ways to joke about how much it sucks that we are required to use cars, and how shitty certain large vehicles in particular are.
