And this is why you want to promote bicycles. Most car trips are under 3 miles which is easily doable on a bicycle, even easier on an electric bicycle.
Maintenance costs? Like double digit costs per year per bike, if that. I bought a new bike and had zero maintenance costs for 2 years now
Oh, I completely agree! I’m just speaking from experience. We got a bridge near me, with plenty large enough leeways on the side, that cops will ticket pepper walking or riding a bike.
we have shitty people here too. It’s just that those shitty people also bike (or have relatives that do so), and thus have an interest in keeping biking safe.

Yeah as much as agree with the “fuck cars” sentiment, it’s simply not possible or even safe in more rural, or even suburban, environments.
I live in the netherlands, here even people in rural places bike. It’s an infrastructure problem, not a bike problem.

Or watery, like a houseboat.
This really depends on where you live. Most of my car trips range between 10 and 60 miles.
