Paris Mayor: I want a city with less cars. Perhaps it's controversial, but I think I'm on the right side of history. I had lobbyists from car companies threaten me in my own office.

What really grinds my gears, is whenever it snows, and it is really easy to tell the cars aren’t even being used most days.

Our public space is apparently just a place for some people to store their personal belongings.

Makes me want to just put a freezer in a vacant parking spot and leave it there.

Meanwhile a battle royale between cargobike owners about parking unfolds in backyards, at schools and shops.

But i aint never seen car spots designated for cargobikes although three families could benefit from just one car space.

Here in Japan, every convenience store, supermarket and retail store has bicycle parking. Nearly all apartment buildings, which they call mansions, also have bicycle parking.

Sure, here too. But cargobikes take up a lot more space than regular bikes.
