    There’s going to be a type of snow clearing device for every type of bike lane

    Do you want me to keep googling them for you until you run out of ideas and then stop responding?

    Come on

      Sure, you google me a snow clearing device that will clear plowed snow after a 2-foot snowfall away from a bike lane that abuts a bunch of parked cars on a narrow street and also doesn’t create a traffic hazard. Because that’s what we deal with in my town.

          Yeah, you do see that bike lane is separated from the rest of the road by a concrete line so that plow can plow that area separately from the rest of the road, right?

              Do you think maybe, just maybe, it’s possible that there isn’t a single solution for every city and town in the world and there are unique problems they can face which make things other cities can do untenable? Is that even a remote possibility? Or does it not apply to plowing snow?

                I can’t think of a single place in the world that can’t have bikes but can have cars

                You cant think to think of any either, to be honest…

                  Good thing I didn’t say it can’t have bikes then. This is what I said:

                  Bikes don’t work well in places like where I live when you can easily get 1-2 feet of snow in the winter. Or very icy roads.

                  Please don’t put words in my mouth.

                    I’m pretty sure you can always solve that problem for bikes if you can solve it for cars

                    If you can’t solve it for cars then these places are beyond relevance for urbanism
