I used to live in a hilly, rainy part of Germany. I cycled that exact distance every day. It's not an issue. If you've got children, get a cargo bike with child seats or a bicycle trailer with child seats. Works fine, many parents did that.
- speedgoose 4y agoYou need very convincing arguments to convince people to downgrade their quality of life that much. Biking on the rain uphill with a bike trailer is not fun compared to driving a car. That’s my point, I personally enjoy biking.
- kuschku 4y agoIf you've got dedicated bicycle lanes, then “it costs 10x less and you save 2x the time because you're not stuck in traffic” quickly becomes a winning proposition.
- bertil 4y agoI would love that this argument about the quality of life to be also heard when talking about people who have to suffer the consequence of cars: violence, children's deaths, pollution, noise, aggressive tone, inhospitable cities, enormous parking lots that are hellish all Summer and don’t let water seed though. For the last years, deadly heat waves, and floods. Selfishness isn’t an argument when making collective decisions.
