  • The thing is that bike lanes need to be built intelligently. As a bike commuter I want to have bike lanes that don’t force me to ride close to parked cars because that is dangerous for the cyclist and people getting in and out of the cars. I want to be able to conserve momentum and not have to stop everywhere, because building up speed costs effort. In my country if there is a bike lane its use is compulsary, but some lanes are so unsafe or so built to kill your speed that I often do avoid them wholly or partially.

    I admit to being somewhat of a vehicular cyclist but I support easier safe options for those who are not.






  • Your problem is twofold.

    1. We need people working services, among which elderly care is going to be big, and producing all the stuff the existing people need.

    2. You keep working with money. Money is a great idea for a society where everyone is supposed to be productive. But not so great beyond that. When you inevitably move to a society where loads of people are not productive because of age and automation, money becomes an obstacle rather than an asset.

    Given the limited amount of people needed to provide services and produce with the current and near future level of automation the only problem is money. Because money means that only people who earn it have rights to goods and services.
