Wow, breaking news! Americans refuse to drive two wheeled vehicles for no particular reason! Truly, a shocking new development.

  Maybe you should consider weather, families and highways.
  • prvit 4y ago
    Yes, because they don’t have weather or families in London.

      They also have public transportation so you can get by without a car and have a scooter for when it works. In the US most people need a car anyway so they have it already and anything with two wheels is there for fun and not neccesity.

        So, what you’re saying is that two wheeled vehicles are equally unnecessary in both contexts?
        • CyberDildonics 4y ago
          I have no idea how you got there from what I said. You said "americans avoid two wheeled vehicles for no reason". They have cars anyway so they use them. The reason they need cars is because it gets cold, there are highways that go fast and it's dangerous and illegal to take young kids or more than one kid on a scooter. This is not complicated.

            All of those things are true in Europe too.
            • CyberDildonics 4y ago
              Nope. Car ownership is much higher in the US and Canada, especially compared to big cities where there would be delivery.

    You should go on holiday in Vietnam and see how entire families ride on a single scooter, on the highway, in weather.

      That sounds extremely dangerous. Sure it’s do-able and normalized for them, but I don’t want to expect that sort of thing where I live because it is now trendy to hate everything about cars.

        It is extremely dangerous. But there surely must be a middle ground between cultural norms in USA and Vietnam. People in developed economies shouldn't be carrying around sofas on the backs of mopeds as they do in Vietnam, but it should be reasonable enough to deliver a pizza on one where the weather allows in the USA. FWIW: I'm very much a car guy.

          Indeed, nobody is carrying their family on a scooter in London, but at the same time pretty much nobody is delivering food with a car either.

      I've lived in Vietnam for multiple years and drove scooters around all the time. That doesn't have anything to do with the claim that "americans avoid two wheel vehicles for no reason". Also the honda scoopy and yamaha scooters are 115cc and can't get up to american highway speeds. In Thailand it isn't even legal to drive scooters or even motorcycles on their highways. Maybe you should go on holiday to Vietnam in the winter, you might realize there is no snow in Vietnam. Americans usually need a car anyway so they already have one.
