tl;dw they made some sensible cost cutting measures to create a nice tram system cheaply in a small city.

Hey fedi-bikers! I need help finding good hydraulic disc brakes with flat-mount calipers for my Specialized Sirrus 3.0. It came with Tektro HD-R280 front- and rear flat-mount calipers, but I'm not quite satisfied with the stopping efficiency. I'm used to a lot more from years of riding my previous MTB which featured Shimano post-mount calipers. The guy at the local bike shop explained to me that the factory Tektros were actually quite mediocre calipers, so I weren't to expect anything near to approximating the stopping power of my MTB's Shimanos. So far I've identified these flat-mount Shimano models: - Shimano SLX BR-M7110 - Shimano XT BR-M8110 - Shimano XTR BR-M9110 ... but most sites that have them in stock offer just the calipers, and I need the whole front-, or rear- or both sets, including calipers, pads, levers, hoses, adapters (if needed), because if I purchased just the calipers, they most probably wouldn't be compatible with what came with the factory equipped Sirrus 3.0. I'd be grateful for any suggestions, and links to online shops (Europe-shipping preferably) where I can order the whole set from. Thanks!

Yet more hate towards cycling, and somehow if a floating bus stop is located between two care lanes its perfectly acceptable.

Some of the Dutch cycleways are used so heavily, that they have reached their capacity. This means the authorities need to come up with innovative solutions to make cycling convenient and attractive…
As pointed out in [this post](https://feddit.nl/post/8256048), this community has only one mod listed (@reusable_rocket@feddit.nl), and they haven’t interacted with Lemmy for 6 months. Is anyone interested in doing this? Also, what is even the best way to do this? Should there be multiple mods? Who decides who becomes a mod?

TL;DW: Cars caused people to spend more on transportation and made third places disappear.

America has Traffic Engineers. The Netherlands has Transportation Engineers. One is concerned with moving as many cars as possible, the other builds transportation systems. In this podcast, I'm joined by Steffen Berr, an American Traffic Engineer turned Transportation Engineer who now lives in the Netherlands. We discuss the myopic approach taken by Traffic Engineers in America, and how it ultimately ruins cities. Steffen has a great article that is worth reading: https://nextcity.org/urbanist-news/america-has-no-transportation-engineers Strong Towns Conversation with an Engineer: [Conversation with an Engineer](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P9BUyWVg1xI&t=0s) Wonderland Road: [Throwing Good Money After Bad Car Infrastructure - Wonderland Road](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ds-v2-qyCc8&t=0s)...
