And they're closed. - slothchunk, on 08/12/2008, -10/+621i'm holding out for teleportation
- tas08, on 08/13/2008, -3/+346Uh oh, I forgot where I parked my bike. Lets see, it's blue.....
- sshhaammss, on 08/12/2008, -42/+352yeah. we're all a bunch of pussies. most people i know whine about having to walk anywhere over a block, and they act like riding a bicycle 5 blocks is an epic journey.
- Cydonia21, on 08/13/2008, -6/+208More of that will just lead to more of this
http://viescha.files.wordpress.com/2007/07/yourbik ... - AntFoolish, on 08/12/2008, -96/+292Unfortunately, our country (I'm assuming you're talking about the US) is far too fat for anything like this to ever come close to happening. It would take an act of government (as I'm pretty sure happened in the case of this picture as well).
- tas08, on 08/13/2008, -6/+193It's more like our country is far to spread out. I can bike to work (a 12 minute drive) but almost everything else I do is out of biking distance (practically speaking, not what I'm physically capable of doing), usually 10+ miles. If you're in NYC, or say, Beijing it makes GREAT sense, otherwise for suburbs or less dense areas.... not so much.
- badnewshotel, on 08/13/2008, -40/+189Since when is the governments job to force people to ride bikes? Move to China if you want that *****.
- inactive, on 08/12/2008, -8/+149It's still better than thousands of Hummers.
- Chicken, on 08/13/2008, -12/+128***** stole my bike?
- oduska, on 08/13/2008, -2/+100If people here didn't drive like idiots I would ride my bike more often.
- Br3ach, on 08/13/2008, -0/+85In the land where I've seen people wait in their cars for someone to pull out to get a parking space up front, longer than it would have taken their lazy ass to park 5 stalls down and walk to the front of a store...good luck with that
- Fracture98, on 08/12/2008, -7/+89Even with an act of government, you'd just end up with thousands of electric scooters...
- Soave, on 08/13/2008, -8/+81/we don't have as dense of a population, hence you can't ride 20 miles to work every morning.
Also, "an act of government," really? You have the wrong idea about the purpose of government. - inactive, on 08/13/2008, -8/+80You obviously don't live in the southern US during the summer time.
- indubitably, on 08/13/2008, -0/+65mine's the one with the baseball card in the spokes
- samthurston, on 08/13/2008, -3/+62we wouldn't need to raise gas taxes, just end gas subsidies and let the free market decide.
Badnewshotel, if you want to decide who can and can't reproduce, move to China. - had3l, on 08/13/2008, -9/+67that ***** stole a lot of bikes
- MuskokasFinest, on 08/13/2008, -2/+51You're doing it wrong.
- Gravey9, on 08/13/2008, -10/+57pwned!
- tippmann1, on 08/13/2008, -4/+49@joshuajargon BRILLIANT!! using you genius solution we could solve the gas problem by next year.
/sarcasm - mtvkilledusall, on 08/13/2008, -2/+47I ¢ what you did there.
- microview2007, on 08/13/2008, -0/+41Same all over Europe.
This is in Malmo Sweden
http://www.flickr.com/photos/microview/2757950687/ - jasonliman, on 08/13/2008, -0/+39make sure no flies go in while you are teleportating.
- jefuchs, on 08/12/2008, -15/+53By the time it happens here I'll be too old to ride a bike.
- Daxx22, on 08/13/2008, -3/+40Wow. First I marveled at the piles of bikes, then I noticed the dude at the door...
- CannedCorn, on 08/13/2008, -8/+44You're right, we do need more parking in nyc.
- ZenMojo, on 08/13/2008, -1/+37You realize this is a picture of a train station, right?
- benburned, on 08/13/2008, -1/+37IMO it would be better if we were to somehow find a way to copy the information on our brains to another storage device, then put that into robotic body, and when you want to "teleport" you simply send your data along fiber optic cables to wherever you want to go and it will be received by an identical robot body.
that solves the problems of teleportation and aging, killing two stones with one bird. - Hangly, on 08/13/2008, -3/+37It's a bicycle parking lot outside a train station in Japan. I've seen hundreds exactly like it.
- Hetman, on 08/12/2008, -13/+45It is a really cool picture. I walk or ride my bike almost everywhere I go. But it is easy if you live in a major city and you do not feel like paying 300$ a month just for parking. Once you figure in gas price, insurance, and car payments it just makes more cents to ride, walk, or use public transportation.
- OC73, on 08/13/2008, -3/+34It's not a matter of being fat, it's about the lifestyle Americans prefer. As China becomes wealthier, it too is abandoning the bicycle for the automobile.
- badnewshotel, on 08/13/2008, -5/+34Riding a bike hurts my sensitive parts.
- pjr12345, on 08/13/2008, -16/+44You want bikes... go there.
- AresDiggs, on 08/13/2008, -2/+29Mine just has a pole.. with no seat...
...no ***** - itbescott, on 08/13/2008, -3/+30I ride my bike to work and the store and I live in the good old US of A. I love riding by bike and spend less that 20 bucks on gas a month. I really don't understand why people are so against it (unless they live really far away).
- KMartSheriff, on 08/13/2008, -1/+24Mine has wheels on it.
- Baloo, on 08/13/2008, -1/+22It is NOT the Netherlands.
It is Japan.
The box cars in the background.
The light post in the car park
The design of the train station
The green boards with the yellow flags
and oh yeah
the writing in the background. - j3ff86, on 08/13/2008, -1/+22I logged in to digg that.
- thebza451, on 08/13/2008, -3/+2420 miles each way in the summer? gee, i feel sorry for whoever has to work with you stinky man
- eviephenomena, on 08/13/2008, -3/+24One of the things I miss about my old job is that it was within walking distance of my home. I also had a free gym membership through my employer, and the gym was on the way to work. I could get up in the morning, walk to the gym, walk home, walk to home, and then do it all over again. It was wonderful.
Unfortunately with my current job this is just not possible. The commute is too far and there is no safe place to walk much less bicycle. I'm not sure it's an issue of Americans being too lazy (although I'm sure that's a case for some) but for many of us its just not realistic. - quomen, on 08/13/2008, -4/+25Pinton3, I highly disagree with you, but badnewshotel's decision to insult you with 'dorkboy' is just an epic fail.
- amnesiac096, on 08/13/2008, -6/+26@stark2051,
you're a dumbass, Chicago has more people driving then suburbs, plus all the ***** stop and go traffic. I was there a week and a half ago and I sat on the road 2 miles from where I needed to be for over an hour due to traffic congestion.
I would have biked, but the trip alone was over 6 hours. Chicago has sooo much smog, I hadn't been there since I was 6, so it was a shock to see all the smog.
I don't see a smog filled, car congested city as "green" - gitrplaya4u, on 08/13/2008, -2/+22No need; I understand.
For those of you who don't:
This man, of the darker-toned persuasion, has procured these bikes through illegal means, from you and I. - badnewshotel, on 08/13/2008, -1/+2017?
- jon31rm, on 08/13/2008, -1/+19He just said "it would take" an act of government. Not that it would be justified.
E.g. the phrase, "It would take an army..." - BryanJK, on 08/13/2008, -5/+23what is the issue with it? our bodies aren't the same matter they used to be anyway
also, you should cite the TV show you quoted that from because it looks like you're taking credit for it - Dokument, on 08/13/2008, -5/+23I completely agree but am afraid that it isnt widely practical. I live in Birmingham Alabama and it is a drive (here in the foothills that means up and down a lot also). That along with the fact that I could not transport 1/8th the things I constantly carry in my FJ on a bicycle. In the city yes this is a wonderful idea and they should have parking lots where you can park and get a bicycle for free (city run). Over a large area it just isnt practical.
- RashandCurious, on 08/13/2008, -11/+29I'd put money on it being the Netherlands.
- kakwakas, on 08/13/2008, -3/+21Or it's that some of us wouldn't quite enjoy the 40-mile bike ride to work or school like the one I would have to take. Not all of us live in the middle of a ***** metropolis.
