This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

Have definitely seen bike traffic jams in London before, you get a lot more people through though!

I don't have a photo of a big one though ☹️

yeah this is what biking in my city looks like now on many streets. but at least here people are all on normal bikes.

where I live it would be scooters, e bikes, mopeds, and regular bikes. with half the people on motorized ones, and jamming the accelerator off the line then slamming the brakes at the stop light, because it's a 'race'. also you have the one-wheelers and e-skateboards and all sorts of other random electronic transport device things.

and the worst peopel would be the moms/dads on the e-bikefiets things that flip out you are 'endangering my children' if you are within 5 ft of them. who also jam the accelerator/brakes every light, rather than having any skill.

i miss the glory days of 5 years ago when bike lanes were for bikes and everyone was kind of going the same speed. god forbid.
