> A bicycle is trash (fun to ride, not that useful). Entirely dependent on the infrastructure: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pqQSwQLDIK8 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pqQSwQLDIK8 > What are you going to carry on your bike? Five bags? Seems like a lot of groceries to buy at a time, but if you really want to: https://youtu.be/rQhzEnWCgHA?t=379 https://youtu.be/rQhzEnWCgHA?t=379 > I don’t want to go 5 miles away, I want to go 200. You cover 200 miles every day? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=REni8Oi1QJQ&t=185s https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=REni8Oi1QJQ&t=185s Regardless, you can own a car for those longer journeys just fine and still make most trips by bicycle. > With bikes and walking, your world is small. Yeah, that's why public transport is important too. Cars as well, although deprioritized. > Electric cars powered by renewable energy get rid of most of the negative externalities. They get rid of some of the noise and almost all of the harmful exhaust. That's about it. They're still 2 ton+ massive steel cages that are incredibly dangerous to everyone else, take up a ridiculous amount of space, and require extremely expensive infrastructure. As for the rest, sure, I'm not really criticising your particular choices, it sounds like you live in a rural area where a car is necessary anyway. However, there's no way for everybody to be able to live like you do. There are just too many people. We need to live with long-term sustainability in mind.
