No, cars plus planes are much more convenient for travel than bikes and trains.
That is definitely not to say that there is no place for bikes and trains. US certainly needs more of both.
But please stop pretending that a family of 4 can go anywhere on bikes in the weather. Or even going to the beach with all gear in perfect weather. Just not going to happen.
- bertil 4y agoI can assure that anyone in a traffic jam disagrees with you–violently so. More roads aren’t a solution.

- hedora 4y agoMore roads are the only solution, and have been for at least 4000 years. For those 4 millenia, people have gravitated to a 30 minute each way commute, on average. More roads implies bigger cities and more amenities / economic growth. If bikes mean more people can commute to the city, then they will eventually win.
