Many employers worry remote workers feel disconnected. A new study found they reported higher well-being and were no more likely to feel isolated than their
Not my video and I don’t know what day of the week it was filmed, but it’s pretty representative of ‘medium’ weekday afternoon traffic (even though the video title calls it “heavy”). Like I said in my previous comment, weekends are worse.
(I don’t endorse trying to ride as aggressively as they’re doing in the video, BTW.)
However, as European it feels sort of standard traffic mx. In our city centers are many pedestrians and bikers.
If you want to get the real feeling, try a bike highway in the Netherlands. Never did it myself. It’s still on my bucket list https://youtu.be/ynwMN3Z9Og8?is=oK8XCSuHsf6hgP1n
They even have bike traffic jams sometimes ;-D
I’m literally one of the mods of !fuckcars, which is to say, I am painfully aware of how much better Europe in general, and the Netherlands in particular, is at this stuff.
The difference with Atlanta is that path is kinda the only one like that we have in the entire metro area. We have other trails in a network that’s gradually becoming more connected, but that’s the only part of it that’s more-or-less fully built out with pedestrian-oriented surrounding architecture, which makes it far more popular than any of the others.
Other trails look more like:
Beltline Southside Trail
Stone Mountain Trail
Silver Comet Trail
Don’t get me wrong: they’re nice, in their own way. But they don’t have nearly the appeal or ridership of the only trail with proper urbanism.
I see. And even understand this conflict. For me the best way is to accept pedestrians and slow down the speed. The other way, insist or enforce „your rights“, will lead to agression. We have this situation already in some dense city areas, where cars, bikes, and pedestrians kind of fight for the small space. It’s just stressful for eceryone.
Do you know this one? It’s a disused railroad track in a hilly industrial city Wuppertal/ Germany with some bridges and tunnels. A community effort turned it into a bike & pedestrians trail along the city. A nice ride with many nice views.

Pedestrians in the US? Are you kidding?

Nice one. Love to see it.
