@pelle this is near a building with a lot of elderly folks who use various mobility aids. There's a large paved area forty meters ahead with plenty of space.
@barometz
are you upset at the people using mobility aids? -

are you upset at the people using mobility aids?@pelle no, at the people making them cross the curb (which is a hassle for them) and get into the bicycle lane (which is annoying for me).

so you're annoyed when the elderly folks on their mobility aids get in your way? -

In each of those pictures, the vehicles could have been parked in a way that leaves them accessible and doesn't block a sidewalk, emergency exit, or public AED for anyone.

thanks for perfectly illustrating the point i was trying to make@pelle I don't understand what point that is? If you're talking about the ability to park with consideration for other road users, does that contradict anything I've said?

@barometz
like, complaining how e-scooters are dangerous because you've seen one that's parked near an AED.how many people are crushed by cars per year in the city you live in?

@pelle okay, so the statement I originally objected to was
"i think that dunking on microtransport, as long as cars exist, promotes motornormativity."
I see how you got from my objection to "e-scooters are dangerous" but that's not what I meant. What I mean is this: no one should park like a fucking asshole. I don't see non-rentals parked like this nearly as much, so the category is relevant.

@barometz
the thing is, the amount of being "a fucking asshole", by driving and parking a car, legally, is so disproportionately greater than what those parked bikes are doing.but people are much more willing to put up with assholery from cars. that's the #motornormativity. there's interesting studies exploring that unconcious bias.
