I think it is not just car-centric. It is "private mobility"-centric. In towns, and large towns especially, public mobility should be the rule and private one

I think it is not just car-centric. It is "private mobility"-centric.
In towns, and large towns especially, public mobility should be the rule and private one the exception. If any.
And maybe also for long distance mobility.
- CalRobert 1y agoMight I suggest bikes are a great form of private mobility?
- colejohnson66 1y agoBut that's not a personal pod on a pseudo-train that a tech-bro could sell me
- CalRobert 1y agoI’m sure we can find a way to make cargo bikes a status symbol.. hoodmaps already shows the part of Utrecht I couldn’t afford as cargo bike moms :-)

- Zigurd 1y agoI hold out hope that many more Americans will get E bikes, and demand separated bike lanes. There's plenty of room for them on most American roads especially newer suburbs.

- CalRobert 1y agoI can’t reply to sibling comment here but indeed, an urban arrow can carry 4 kids + adult if you put a seat on the back.
- gazook89 1y ago+1 to urban arrow. Schlep my infant and pre-k kid in it every day of the year and the older kid loves it, is more engaged with the community (she has mentally mapped it and we commonly stop to talk to neighbors in a way we can’t in car), and I can actually fit more kids in it than the car. The car requires a car seat for each kid, which won’t fit across the back seat— the bike takes in an infant seat, and space for two kids on the bench.
- hulitu 1y ago> Might I suggest bikes are a great form of private mobility? Yes you may. They fall short though for distances bigger than a couple of km, when carrying something or by bad weather.
- CalRobert 1y agoI do 5-10 km happily on a regular basis with kids and cargo
- notorandit 1y agoOnly for short hauls.
