@AchtungDrempels … inte bara i Sverige som det byggs bomhelveten #cykla

I see on your mastodon profile that you have a cargo bike. Those barriers must be double the fun with those. Are there any that you can't even pass around you?

I don't understand why they don't use 1-2 bollards instead of those snakey barriers. Even with regular bikes they're hard to pass.

@DarkThoughts @AchtungDrempels I suspect most planners don’t bike so they simply don’t understand the dynamics. They think they’ve done a good job making it “safe”

Even then, a bollard is less material, so it should be cheaper too.
