The space close to crossroads should not be dedicated to parking, because parked cars limit visibility of incoming cars. The solution proposed by the maker of the video is much more livable and much less dangerous.

The technique is sometimes called daylighting, and you can find more information about it here

Its great right?

Just FIY, RM transit is also active on the fediverse witha mastodon and a peertube accounts

And for sure you know that notjustbikes is on mastodon too @notjustbikes@notjustbikes.com

You are not wrong, but there are a lot of interesting things for a self-gift too!

I guess that the same number of cells also dies in the same period!

This is a good point. What conversion kit did you use?

The additional complexity and manteinance needed by ebikes is the major factor that scares me, more than price.

I want to do as little manteinance to my bike as possible, to be able to do it on my own, and ebikes don’t look like something that would allow me to do so, at the moment

Conclusions are similar to this video from Berm Peak channel, that could find goof helemts (in terms of protection) at low price.

However he advises to be aware of the existence of helemts on amazon that would not protect at all!

I use a poncho from decatholon when it rains and it works fine. I also have a couple rain overshoes, because the feet aren’t protected.

All in all i think that for my case this is the best solution, because it doesn’t rain often, the climate here is warm (the poncho is better for sweat than a rain jacket) and we have no strong winds, which would make you fly with a poncho

I was genuinely surprised, because what you wrote was really different from what I experienced. But my experience i Munich is objectively limited. I somehow hoped that Germany, and Munich (along with other European cities) could be used as a model of how to do things right.

What drives me mad here is the absolute inaction

Exactly, and all this stuff about counting the cars is to try to move something. I have not much hope honestly, but excluding violence and vandalism, I think this is as much as someone can do

The city even responds to requests with the risk of damage to cars (!!) instead of considering humans.

This is completely crazy. In Milan they justify bad parking by saying things like “it has always been like this” or “yeah, but you can go around it” etc. FFS, do your job!!

Yes burning them all would have been much more satisfying.

But we needed to know how many matches we needed to buy 😈

I don’t know… I have been there twice in the last 4 years, and I went in many places (touristy and not, I was there for work, Just as examples: Truderinger Str. or Marsstraße are not so central) and never saw anything like that. For sure I didn’t see cars parked on the bus stop or on the zebra crossings.

But anyway, with a similar car density (but people density is almost double in Milan) I am not be surprised that the situation is comparable in both places.

So, well, you should organize and count them too! I think that such a status is unacceptable independently of where it happens 🙂

I have been in Munich… Not remotely comparable.

Did you see the pictures in the article below? They are not an exception. Cars are parked like this in all Milan, on all the streets.
