(Anonymity allows them to facilitate conversation, rather than making them spokespeople for the cause, they say.) "But r/fuckcars is full of mind-blowing realizations." "These days it sometimes feels difficult to have your mind blown by a small observation," the anonymous moderators of the Fuck Cars Twitter account told me. So what's going on here? Help, I'm orange-pilled You watch one video on zoning laws in Japan and then suddenly it was 2am and I’m all like “it’s so true bestie, the suburban experiment *is* an anti-human ponzi scheme”- steveklabnik March 25, 2022 And I started to wonder… had I been radicalized? In the span of only a few weeks, I went from proverbial Prius Lover to Car Destroyer on the pro/anti-car political compass I found on the Fuck Cars feed. I dropped the word " stroad" into casual conversation. I developed strong opinions about bike rack design. I started explaining to anyone who would listen why parking requirements are to blame for most societal ills. Soon, I found myself consuming memes on r/fuckcars, bingeing the Not Just Bikes YouTube channel, following Strong Towns on Instagram, signing up for the Our Built Environment Substack, subscribing to The War on Cars podcast and more. I was witnessing the almighty algo at work in real time, and for the first time it felt more invigorating than bleak. Then these two IRL acquaintances started tweeting at each other. Over time, I began seeing their posts more frequently, alongside similar tweets from accounts like American Fietser and Cars Destroyed Our Cities and even the World Bollard Association. OK, first I'm getting a cargo bike, and then I'm getting a dog, too. The story of my radicalization really begins, as these stories often do, on Twitter. The two of us stumbled upon a vintage car show one morning and he turned to me and said, in his earnest toddler lilt, " We don't like cars, right, Mama? We like bikes and walking." And I was just like, yes, child, yeeeeessss.īut it wasn't just my new two-wheeled lifestyle that stoked my dormant disgust for car dependence. Speaking of my son, my little sponge-brained 3-year-old now regularly asks why people are driving when they ought to be biking, and I couldn't be more proud. I've even realized a latent yet lifelong dream of biking my son to school every day.

My local farmer's market has a free bike valet. "We are within biking distance of three grocery stores," I tell everyone back home, " and Target." I notice things now like well-placed bollards and accessible bike parking, and I often indulge in delicious indignation when someone blocks a bike lane with their trash can.
