Something smaller using less energy? Shocking.
And affordable.
And better for your health to use.
All I ask is an e-bike and a path to ride her by.
If they could combine that with weather protection and more public transportation the car might finally die that final sweet death.
Weather protection comes with a goof jacket you can buy with the money you dont spend on cars.
I rode in all weather for years. Rain or shine, you really do get used to it.
Same with motorcycles. All year is motorcycle weather for me

Same. And that includes snow and ice, for those at the back that think that riding a bike in winter is only possible in LA. If people can walk in that weather, people can ride a bike even more easily as the exercise keeps you warmer.
Jacket doesn’t do shit for rain. Believe me, I’m an Aspie and I have too much sensory issues for getting out of home in bad weather. The day it rains is the day i WFH. All the problems stem from the fact that the jacket is too close to the body, generating sweat (and I already sweat too much without it), not to mention it’s not watertight. An enclosed velomobile would probably solve the problem, but I don’t think this sort of vehicle is legal in Poland and can guarantee getting to the office as fast as I’d on a motorcycle or even a moped.
I wish i could also move more people with me on the bicycle
It would also be great if there was some sort of heater/AC in it as well
I ride from -20 to +35C in basically any weather and since jackets and shorts exist that’s all that’s needed. My friends have their own bikes they can ride…
Not much good if you’ve got to take the kids shopping though.
What? Why? I biked since I was like 5 with my parents to wherever including supermarket. Not sure what you mean honestly.
Where I am there are hills everywhere. You know that old joke about walking five miles uphill to school in the snow, and ten miles uphill to get home? That’s here. Plus, it’s the UK, so when it snows, the roads and pavements are lethal.
Plus, some people have kids under 5 😉
More seriously though, because of the amount of hills, and the fact that most people work all day, bikes are not the best option here. The nearest supermarket is several miles away with a lot of hills in between. If you’ve got plenty of free time, riding to the shops with the kids could be fun, but for most people public transport is the answer. It’s just a shame that it’s terrible here .
Well I live in Sweden and we have snow here too buddy. Lousy public transport sucks though, but that’s what you get in a carcentric society, no options…
People be growing up knowing nothing but absolute car dependency and the infrastructure that comes with it. They cannot fathom any other way of existing.
People be privileged and not realising that their way of life is not suitable for everyone. Bikes are not the answer to every question.
And the fact that car prices keep climbing because capitalism demands infinite growth or death.
I wonder what the effect of the estimated 1 billion regular bicycles is on cutting demand for oil?
There are elso legs.
The average number of legs per human is less than 2.
Yet it is not socially accepted to ask where to buy them.
Really? That explains strange looks they were giving to me.
