I do get that it looks freaky that all the cars are the exact same and have no drivers. but go to any big arena show and the entire neighborhood around the venue looks completely jammed up like this but with private cars being driven by humans

I went to law school with no sense of what I wanted to do as a lawyer, and then the foreclosure crisis happened, and I was like “well I want to stop that”

Interesting to note that only three non-European, non-North American cities beat out Minneapolis (Niteroi, Taipei, and Christchurch), and those only barely. In other words, Minneapolis is ranked the 8th best non-European cycling city.
