Comments on: Park Your Car in the Bike Lane in Vilnius, Lithuania, and It Might Get Crushed by a Tank! http://inhabitat.com/park-your-car-in-the-bike-lane-in-vilnius-lithuania-and-get-crushed-by-a-tank/ Green design & eco innovation for a better world Sat, 18 May 2013 14:21:36 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=abc By: dr_h http://inhabitat.com/park-your-car-in-the-bike-lane-in-vilnius-lithuania-and-get-crushed-by-a-tank/comment-page-1/#comment-349039 dr_h Wed, 10 Aug 2011 15:39:03 +0000 http://inhabitat.com/?p=284091#comment-349039 @ caeman, The goal is a green zone, and bike lanes and is good for the greater number of people. Thew little people you are talking about are parking their cars in the bike lanes illegally. Fines were not keeping the people from parking in the bike lanes. And the little person in this example is and overprivlidged rich person who felt entitled to park in the bike lane. In this case it is the little person that is thwarting the goal and this goal is better for the greater good. There were no needy people in this video and there is no need to take it off topic. @ caeman, The goal is a green zone, and bike lanes and is good for the greater number of people.

Rather, I see the hypocrisy in saying it is okay to allow an APC with huge amounts of CO2 emissions to pull off a stunt like crushing a new car, one that is diesel-based no less, and gets fantastic MPG, can carry more groceries than a bicycle and can even transport your two kids at the same time. All that energy and resources put into building that car, for it go to waste, when there are needy people without car that need reliable transportation for their commutes. But, why think about the little people when that doesn't achieve your goal, right? I didn’t miss the point.

To lazyreader, great handle, try reading the article before commenting. The article contained all the info necessary to understand what was happening and even has a video to show you. . . I don't understand why so many people take the time to comment when they won't take the time to read the article. Lame. To caeman, you missed the point.

No, not really. Pretty old one. But still, if that's a working car, what a waste. @lazyreader: New? No, not really. Pretty old one. But still, if that’s a working car, what a waste.
