MODERATORS
Ironically, the guy has an entire video dedicated to debunking the poor framing of this argument.
No one is trying to bike across the United States. Heck, hardly anyone crosses the United States period. The core issue usually relates just to city clusters in one area, and mostly relates to a single individual city with its suburbs, and how that city has used the space it has.
That fact that someone can conceded to realizing that the US is massive and thus would require (not a wish, but an actual requiremrnt) long distance transportation, and yet still mentions a country like the Netherlands in the same breathe means they are incredibly disingenuous in their thinking.
Here's a fun exercise! Name what other countries NJB uses as examples in his video!
Might be painful, because then it would mean you actually have to watch it instead of comment from total ignorance.
You think I give enough of a flying fuck to waste my time??? LOL you can't be for real.
