Depends on the traffic! It would sure be fun to try it out though.

Heck yeah!

I'm a retired AF pilot. There's a lot to flying safely, and I hope the check out is very thorough. I would hate to see one of these cars land on my home or car, or anyone else's for that matter. Hats off to the company for making this long sought-after dream a reality. Pretty cool.

Just because the cartoons told us we'd be flying cars in the 1990s doesn't mean it's a good idea. People can't handle navigating in 2D just imagine how bad they will be in 3D.

Rick Allen

Not this one. I dont consider 125 mph on the ground high performance at all, nor 190 MPH air speed! Definitely not if it is electric! To small, too expensive and most likely not insurable! Also not good looking. It is not practical.

Lynn Huntley

There is enough distracted driving and road rage on the ground. Now in the air?

Nothing ships for the next two years. Look for information on Jim Bede. He sold thousands of airplanes in the "kit" category. It was the Bede-5. Thousands of people never received a complete kit.

We're still a rural state with a low population (growing though). The traffic on I-15 between Idaho Falls and Pocatello is nowhere near the congestion that would justify widening the freeway.

Should Bend focus on more parking spots or improvements for bicyclists?

Parking is necessary for businesses to survive. Monies should be spent on the needs of the majority of people.

Tobias NEEDS TO GO!!! Get rid of the parklets!! We need a DT business owner to be head of DT parking!! Not someone daydreaming of a pedestrian only DT!!!

Rick Allen

Definitely parking and NO bikes should ever be allowed on roads with no shoulder!!!!

Amanda

The majority of people drive. It doesn't make sense to spend a disproportionate amount of money on something used by a very small portion of the population.

sandra zollman

Completely agree. We are seeing way to much increase in spending. No more roundabouts, no more parks, no more spending. The economy is bad and people are paying much higher prices for everything but still our local government is spending.

We aren't Portland and we don't want to be Portland. Stop wasting our money on a very small percentage of the populace. Bend is growing way to fast and parking for cars is needed.

Latterdaysaint

I think bend lacks parking on the other handing more biking reduces congestion

I quit going to downtown Bend because the parking is a disaster. Not building parking will NOT decrease vehicle travel it only creates congestion and traffic stress. I have no problem with bike lanes just the spandex nazis that use them.

Lynn Huntley

Bend needs both.

I believe increasing parking will cause higher demand because it is move available, improving alternatives will generate demand for those instead and lessen the parking issue.

Todd Brown

We purchased E-Bikes, we use them to commute to work, medical appointments go shopping and most other locL travel needs. The biggest drawback(s) are lack of safe places to park them.

Stang1960

its nice you can afford an expensive e bike when most of the population has to cut back to 1 or 2 meals a day so they can afford rent.
