Probably the reason for that new direction; they noticed that quite some people are very emotionally heated against last generation etc and think 'hey more cars in the city' could bring them those voters. But most of them are not against doing sth against climate change... They are just part of the lazy majority that says anything as long as it doesn't affect me and my lifestyle
Yep, seeing as they're not a 'everyone has to agree to everything the leadership says' kind of party, but one that accepts and promotes discourse, I feel absolutely fine voting for them every time and calling it out when they make a bad decision. I don't think that holding the exterior ministry is helping Germany a lot to meet our climate goals, I do however see that the traffic ministry is failing the goals spectacularly after handing it off to the FDP
Random trivia: Showing the swastika is a crime in Germany. The Neonazis tried to use that to shut down a shop selling stickers the swastika being thrown in a trashcan. They lost fabulously
All of what the other two commenter's said + the following:
The last one makes the difference in Munich between riding my normal bike and my ebike. With the mirror you see them coming, making it less uncomfortable when they pass + they automatically keep some more distance as they don't want to hit the mirror.
Finally, depending on how fast your bike goes, look into tuning it to higher speeds? Mine is an s-pedelec and goes 45km/h, that means in city traffic I am able to swim with the traffic and not get passed often (this will probably trigger some debate and is a suggestion you should think about carefully, as it has other implications)
Was the chillest dude - sitting under a waterfall in the spray, having a good time. Waited patiently until I had taken 2-3 photos, then went about his day :)
took this image 2 years ago when being there on holiday. We went back last year, to enjoy the absolutely beautiful nature scene in which we found the salamander, only to see it having become a construction site for a new road...
