Not to mention that many of them are NIMBYs, and block any new buildings from going up, to protect their own assets.

When the harm you cause by flying just isn't enough, so you start bringing 2 tons of luggage with you.

I like them, it's nice to know that someone might get angry on my behalf, if I'm ever killed by a driver.

I had a close call two days ago, when riding down a bike lane, minding my own business. A car overtook, and started turning onto a side road, right into me. I didn't have time to stop, and could only veer as far away from the car as possible, and thankfully the driver eventually noticed me and stopped the car. I was maybe 20 cm from being hit, and was only honked at.

The visibility was very good, I had been going straight for a while and didn't just "appear out of nowhere", I wasn't going too fast or otherwise breaking laws or acting irresponsible, and I wasn't wearing a cloak of invisibility. I had the right of way, and even if I had hit all my brakes the second the car started turning, I wouldn't have had time to stop.

Or an electric moped.

An e-bike, since OP wants a modern vehicle.

Aftalen er endnu ikke underskrevet, og vi har kun for alvor Trumps ord for hvad den indeholder. Kender man ham ret, kan han nå at ombestemme sig mange gange, inden den er underskrevet og træder i kraft, og det er også meget muligt at han har misforstået indholdet.

Det er nok for tidligt at juble/panikke.

Det er sandt, men en nuance er at der også er byer i yderkommunerne, og at en del af befolkningen allerede bor i lejligheder og rækkehuse. Det er kun omkring 11% af Danmarks befolkning som bor på landet, og selv i yderkommunerne bor de fleste i byer af varierende størrelse.

Der er en del mellemstore byer som ligger i udkantsdanmark og der er nok næppe nogen særlig stor klimagevinst ved at rive dem ned, og flytte indbyggerne til de store byer. Tværtimod bør man styrke dem, så de bliver i stand til at absorbere en større del af lokalbefolkningen fra landdistrikterne og landsbyerne. Problemet er ikke Nykøbing Falster, hverken når man taler klima (udover oversvømmelse og lignende problematikker) eller samfundsøkonomi, problemet er meget af det der ligger udenfor.

Yderkommunerne har lave indtægter og mange socialt tunge borgere, og i stigende grad også mange ældre og plejekrævende borgere. Man bør anerkende at de løser en vigtig og dyr samfundsopgave, og give dem midlerne til at løse den ordentligt, fremfor at kræve at den løses for egen regning, og på bekostning af resten af kommunens borgere.

• The production emits a lot of greenhouse gasses, and requires a lot of ressources.
• Same goes for the infrastructure.
• EVs perpetuate car dependence, making it difficult to choose green modes transport.
• The space they take up, pushes everything further apart, making every other mode of travel less climate-friendly, because people have to travel further.

Better than ICE cars for the environment, in the same way that a commercial plane is better than a private one.

As I bicyclist I never feel like I have trouble spotting pedestrians at night, no matter what they're wearing, even though I have significantly less lights on my bike than a car has. Maybe because I try to stay aware, and slow down if I feel like my speed starts to endanger other people. On the other hand, in the past two years I have almost been driven straight into four times, in the middle of the day:

1. I was riding in the bike lane, when a car exiting from a side road forgot to check whether it was clear, and instead continued straight ahead. Car had a yield line.
2. I was riding inside a roundabout, when a car tried to enter, almost hitting me.
3. I was riding in the same roundabout, when a bus forgot to check for traffic, swinging left (going against the direction of traffic) as if it was a regular intersection, and almost hitting me. This is a tiny roundabout, so this is technically the way a bus is supposed to navigate it, but obviously only once it is empty.
4. I was riding down the road (no bike lane) when a huge lorry suddenly turned from the other lane, going straight towards me while yelling. I still have no idea what was going on there.

If someone is distracted or otherwise driving unsafely, it doesn't matter what you wear. Unfortunately, a lot of people are using their phones while driving, going above the speed limit, not slowing down when conditions are bad or simply not treating driving with the needed respect.

As a girl, a defining moment for me, was when I heard about an exhibition showcasing what rape victims were wearing when they were raped. Some were wearing children's-sized nightdresses and ugly waterproof clothing. I think a similar exhibition showing what pedestrians and cyclists were wearing, as they were run down, would be an eye-opener for many people. I try to be reasonably careful, both as a woman and as a vulnerable road user, but I have long ago decided not to treat my fellow citizens as potential rapists or murderers.

What personal safety precautions you take when you're in a vulnerable position, is a personal matter. When your actions endanger other people, it becomes a public matter.

Right now, by ebike. In the past I have walked, ridden a regular bike or taken the bus. I do about 100 kilometers a week on my ebike, maybe 5 on my regular bike for errands within town, if I don't just walk, and also occasionally use the bus or train.

Rural or urban, I have always prioritized living somewhere where I can easily get to where I need to be, by using either public or active transport. I will also happily use digital alternatives like online grocery shopping etc. when it makes sense to. I grew up somewhere super rural (for Denmark) and even did part of my high school online, because doing it offline would have required commuting 3-4 hours by bus or 1,5 by car in total, each and every day. Right now I live in a small Danish town with about 10k inhabitants, with busses and trains, and close enough to the countryside that I was able to find a place to keep our two ponies within biking distance.

I'm in my early thirties and don't even have a driver's license.

Yeah, it really depends on who you are and what you're used to. I can even tell that I have gotten slightly better at handling hot weather, after we have started feeling the effects of climate change, and our summers have gotten warmer.

Here in Denmark we generally have very mild weather, but it is definitely on the cooler side. Half of the year it is between 0-15C and raining, and if you spend a lot of time outdoors the moisture will slowly start to seep through your clothes, especially if you're like me, too lazy to put on a proper waterproof layer. Compared to that, proper snow and frost is great. It's bright and pretty, there's almost no moisture in the air and there's a bunch of fun stuff you can do.
