a conversation i just had with my girlfriend, thought i’d share it…
talking about the new swanston st makover:
22:14Audrey
interesting
dunno how that will work
i think it will be like that street i was telling you about in mexico
and that was rad
ppl all along the side, and families just cruising around on bikes in the middle
22:16Tom
that’d be good
22:16Audrey
ppl didnt walk into the middle cos there was too many bikes
yeah, it was really nice
22:17Tom
i don’t know why eveyone thinks they need their cars right in the middle of the cbd
22:17Audrey
because they are lazy assholes
no other explanation
22:17Tom
bingo
22:18Audrey
the government, rather than doing this, needs to facilitate parking complexes at major stations for ppl to park and get trains in
and give them incentives for using them
*train stations
or implement tolls for driving in the city
like they have in the UK
22:19Tom
yeah instead of being charged enough money for a tank of petrol for a weeks tickets
22:20Audrey
its complex…but the government is going to have to change something soon because of all the people who are starting to ride bikes
i think it could become quite revolutionary here
the bike thing that is
22:20Tom
it has that opportunity to do so
22:21Audrey
i think it will…if only because people are desperate to be cool, and riding a bike is ‘so cool’ right now
and you know what that means
22:22Tom
oh’ so cool
22:22Audrey
something being popular= more morons doing it = more people getting run over= new laws/road systems
haha
22:22Tom
hahahahahah
22:22Audrey
we can lose a few of the idiots for that
