You think that reducing number of cars will not reduce the standard of living? Being forced to ride a bike in a snow is surely an improvement unwashed masses are yearning for.
Of course. If you ever drove downtown during rush hours, it is a miserable experience.
If you want to see people riding bike, see youtube videos about Finland. If you have the right clothes, or the right infrastructure and support, a lot of things are suddenly possible and easy.
But of course, noticed that I said reduction of cars, not a total elimination of cars.
We do not need a car for any and all activity. There will be a time and place when you need to haul large amount of materials, for example.
- pi-e-sigma 3y agoYou are advocating riding a bike instead of a car in Finland of all the places? And doing it all year round? And as supporting argument you point to YouTube videos? I'm speechless...
- kiba 3y agoNot Just Bike has a good video on it.[1] Of course, if you don't think youtube videos can't ever be credible sources, then I am not going to be able to convince you of anything. 1. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Uhx-26GfCBU https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Uhx-26GfCBU
