@BrentToderian@mastodon.online I've visited the Hovenring quite by accident. I was surprised that it is kind of on the outskirts of the city in a more car-centric area of development. Such a gorgeous piece of design, I just assumed it would something showcased near the centre of a city.

@BrentToderian@mastodon.online 👍 when I mentioned this first time on Bundestagswahl election campaign in 2009 in Germany, they called me an Idiot, a weird dreamer.

@BrentToderian@mastodon.online I wish I could have even something half as good here in my city.

@BrentToderian@mastodon.online I am going to be honest I am not sure if I really understand why we are celebrating this. Is this not just a bicycle pedestrian bridge?

@BrentToderian@mastodon.online I’m curious as to what happens if an HGV runs into the thing? How’s it constructed?

@BrentToderian@mastodon.online This solution (?) to the bike/car interface seems overbuilt, a monument to architecture rather than an efficient (direct) and effective (safe) way for enabling human powered movement.

@BrentToderian@mastodon.online That is really a fine idea and it's rather attractive looking as well! Cheers to the Dutch!

@zeraien@mastodon.world 2022-12-10 18:57
@BrentToderian@mastodon.online while it is a sexy piece of architecture and can be celebrated as something positive, it's also quite unnecessary/overengineered for bicycles to have roundabouts, especially in a low traffic area. This increases travel time and distances, and could easily have been a simple 4-way junction. It's a hard discussion to have, because it's a cool piece of infra, but it also begs the question if it's truly what cycling needs... 😂

@apukwa@mstdn.ca 2022-12-10 21:15
@BrentToderian@mastodon.online the major bike and pedestrian multi-use pathway in #PeterboroughON, where it crosses any road has signs like this... And, startlingly, the cars have no indication whatsoever, you're just supposed to run across multiple lanes whenever there's a break in traffic (traffic does NOT stop for crossers). WAIT FOR GAP = "May the odds be ever in your favour"

@BrentToderian@mastodon.online Cycle there on a regular basis when I go to the skatepark. It's awesome.

@BrentToderian@mastodon.online Completed 6 weeks in Eastern Europe it’s add on in Netherlands and Berlin. People in US have no idea how to live with a smaller footprint. Sigh.

@BrentToderian@mastodon.online it's not OK when it freezes only slightly. Suspended skating rings are not a place for cycling...
-
@rpix@mastodon.samtale.rocks 2022-12-11 07:09
@BrentToderian@mastodon.online Very good looking, but tunnels also works fine, and are propably much cheaper. @HenningKA_DK@expressional.social

@BrentToderian@mastodon.online while being a great piece of infrastructure, it still places cars as the oprimary citizen. In a flat country like the Netherlands cycling up three to four meters is considered a hill already, and people will take alternative routes if available.

@BrentToderian@mastodon.online In major Chinese cities in 2009 I saw such intersection roundabouts keeping pedestrians safer. Not sure if bicycles were allowed to use them.
-
@char@ioc.exchange 2022-12-12 15:31
@BrentToderian@mastodon.online I lived in The Netherlands almost 6 years and thanks to the bike infrastructure and bike culture was the most happy and beautiful transport experience ever in my life. In my home town, in Spain, try to use the bike is just an extreme dangerous activity.

@BrentToderian@mastodon.online I envisioned cars going up over our main intersection in Santa Fe NM with bikes and foot traffic and small businesses staying at ground level. Alas foot and bike traffic were placed underground via unsafe tunnels.
