We used to drive bicycles when we were children. Then we started driving cars. Bicycles have two wheels, cars have four. Eight wheels seems to be the logical next step, why don't we drive eight-wheel vehicles?
Funny how we are moving back to bicycles, as cars aren’t scalable solution.
But we aren't really.
We should be.
I couldn't if I wanted to. I live 30 miles from my work. No thank you.
They serve different purposes, what's wrong with having both bikes and cars? People live outside of cities too, you know
Moving towards something doesn't imply that cars are being obliterated or banned. Funnily enough, whenever I'm in an unpleasant altercation with a driver, they tend to have plates from far away. If they want to drive their cars out in the country, they can do so - when you're in a dense urban area (which is the most sustainable way to arrange people), you can park and get on the subway with the rest of us.
Bus is, though
More wheels!
