    What does this have to do with nerd news?

    1 out of 7 is huge.

    Tesla can't make a profit, the big auto makers will be the one to bring affordable electric cars to the masses. Tesla relied on affluent people buying expsensive toy for bragging rights, their "affordable" low end model is flopping and killing them.

    Not when they cause drivers to do dangerous things, they're a menace to the public. Bikes can stay off the major roads and take side roads.

    wrong, there is no room for bikes on such roads in major cities, they're a hazard and cars pass precariously close to those idiots. we don't allow bicycles on interstate highways either.

    look for more deaths and maimings in the major metro areas if more people take your stupid view

    wrong, bikes didn't pay for it. it wasn't designed for bikes. bikes are a hazard. we don't allow bicycles, rickshaws or golf carts on interstate highways either. the precedent is there for banning bikes from major roads.

  22. Re: The Great Truth Revealed on Portland Kicks Off Smart City Initiative With Traffic Sensor Safety Project (zdnet.com) · · Score: 1

    no, because most people use cars to get to work, the distance is too far for bicycling. in fact if there were ten time the bicyclists, they'd still be in insignificant fraction.

    there is a lot wrong with those bicyclists clogging a road made for cars, they don't belong there and the road was not built for them nor paid for by them

    no reason to share, it's not theirs. it's not designed for bicycles.

    they cause problems for drivers of cars when they're on roads never intended to be used for bicyclists.

    How is that a troll? It's news item in USA how serious bicycle injuries and deaths have climbed in past few years.
