  3. I always like to discuss how Islam is the one true religion cause the Quran says it isn’t to be doubted. Love talking about this with Christians.

      Why is there so much opposition to provision of cycling infrastructure in most places? And some places don’t even try?

        I cab’t speak for other parts of the world, but here in North America the automobile is king and all other modes of transportation are viewed as inferior mode of transportation. It then becomes a vicious cycle. Motorists demand more roads and parking lots, which invite more automobile traffic, which makes walking and cycling even more undesirable because pedestrians and cyclists as impediments to getting from point A to B as quickly as possible and traffic engineers are only to happy to accommodate their demands for more roadways.

        This is where you come in. As an avid cyclist, it is in your best interests to join forces with other cyclists to petition the local planning department to gradually incorporate cycling and pedestrian accommodations in their development and reconstruction projects. But be forewarned that this is going to be a very frustrating and time-consuming process.

          Our cities are designed with the car as the supremo even though majority of us walk more than drive.
          Petitioning our local governments seems to me a waste of time.

            It might seem that way. But what’s the alternative? Because doing nothing but complaining about the situation certainly won’t resolve the problem. In my experience, anything worth having requires time and effort. When I started cycling to work daily many years ago, motorists made me feel about as welcome as ants to a picnic. Today — thanks to the tenacity of many dedicated individuals — driver attitudes toward sharing the road with cyclist have improved significantly and the city planners have become way more receptive to investing in cycling infrastructure. It’s not perfect — but it’s a change towards the positive.

            I’ll end it here with the following quotes:

            “Whether you think you can, or you think you can’t–you’re right.”
            ― Henry Ford

            Argue for your limitations, and sure enough they’re yours. – Richard Bach

            IOW, It all boils down to how you approach a problem.

            Have a great weekend!

    I just love discussions about history. Especially medieval European history. However, any topic can be either intriguing, or boring. It depends on the people you are communicating with. One can only have so much conversation with morons.

    • What effect do you think the introduction of the heavy plough in North Europe had on world history?

        I think it was revolutionary. However, ecological, economic and other social circumstances influenced how much effect it had on society. By North-Europe we may refer to countries north of the Alps, or the Baltic sea, but they had very different environments and climates and farming conditions, that had formed similar, but varying societies. For example here in Finland slash and burn techniques with light “hook” ploughs were still in use up to the early 20th century. Population was scarce, wast forests separating settlements and the poor ground filled with stones making heavy ploughs hard to use and permanent fields fairly small and even those had to be “rested” out of use for the ground to replenish itself. Farms were typically isolated single horse freeholders, unlike the serfs and peasants of the Western-Europe working for their feudal lords, or the church. Only at the southernmost part of the country there were farms big enough to have several oxen to pull the heavy “winged” plough (and to create the wealth needed to arm a mounted man-at-arms – for wich produced the farm exemption from all taxes to the Swedish crown). Same situation much applied to Sweden and Norway.
