Used to bike and walk in that area actually... I've been hit by 11 cars. Nowhere else have I had that issue and I live in what is considered a "less bike friendly" place now. Those folk up there are aggressively hateful towards pedestrians and cyclists.

Right Wingers and their bloodlust disgusts me

had a car brain joke about watching bicycle accident videos and i said i watch videos of cars getting obliterated by trains, guy was super pissed at me lmao

Yup. I've been on two wheels since June, and thankfully, I've only run into a handful of crazy drivers who make it a point to let met know how much they hate me being on the road.

But even that handful is fucking scary.

my brain read Carbarians and I think that's going to stick for me

Facebook doesn't give a shit either, and honestly they should be held liable if a cyclist is ever killed by someone who has ever left or read a comment like this one that Facebook chose not to take down. For the last couple of years, I've started keeping a log of all the comments I've reported on Facebook, and then updating that log if I get a notification that they took action. Very, very few have needed updating. Here's my log of not removed comments:

And here are the ones they did remove:

Facebook actively encourages extreme violence.

But what if I'm inconvenienced for minutes per year due to cyclists??? I should be able to kill them!!! /s

Sidenote, in 3 years of using Boost for Lemmy, this is the first post that crashes it consistently when I tried to load the comment view. I wonder what could possibly be going on with it. Had to use the web UI to make this comment.

If you were joking about murdering minorities with your AR to remind them that they have their own neighborhood to go back to, you'd at least be investigated by th- Oh wait, Arkansas? Nevermind.

Vehicular cycling advocates have set cycling back decades in USA, with the result being this thought.

A car or a bicycle travelling at 30% of the speed of traffic introduces a considerable risk. It’s why bike lanes aren’t also sidewalks. But it’s not a reason for vehicular homicide!

That's in northwest Arkansas. Bella Vista is like 45 minutes north of Fayetteville and full of retirees. Those facebook groups are disgusting hard right nutjobs.

If it's Fayetville, Arkansas, it looks like it has some gravel and mountain bike paths, but also low-traffic mountain roads that probably have poor passing opportunities. And it also looks like people might come to cycle there.

From Fayetteville, road cyclists will discover one of the largest road networks in Arkansas – with over 400 miles of scenic paved roads accessible from town. Low traffic density, high road quality, and diverse mountain topography make Fayetteville the ideal destination for your next road cycling vacation.

So there's a possibility local traffic is being held up by tourists cycling nowhere in particular on roads where you might have to wait a while for a safe passing opportunity, made even longer by people struggling with an incline.

What would be a good infrastructure solution to this problem?

Ha! I used to live where this meme is talking about.
