I’ve got to admit that when I first heard of the anti-cars community, I was a little skeptical. “Whats wrong with cars?” I thought. But the more I lurked, and the more I watched youtube channels like Not just bikes, the more I understood just how shitty the world is around us. Fuck Cars.
I’ve never owned a car and always relied on bike and transit. Even in Portland, which is relatively good for a North American city, this has been hard. The city is too spread out and transit is sparse for anything but a few sweet spots. I am just tired of 95% of the city being inaccessible except by car.
