    Wear a raincoat or winter jacket, much cheaper than a car.

    I have a trailer that can hold 40 kilos. That’s enough for anything I need regularly. I rent a moving van for the once in a couple year big item hauls.

    Cars spread things apart making places take long to get to not using a car.

    When you say takes long to get anywhere by bike, it is a self report you don’t live anywhere meaningful with anything fun around you

    As a disabled person, I am lucky to ride my bike. I know other disabled people who can’t. But I know plenty of disabled people who can’t drive too. When people advocate for human centric cities instead of car centric cities, disabled people benefit the human centricity. Less cars on the road makes it convenient for other disabled people to get around in their cars. Also bike lanes are wheelchair accessible.



  • What about the people who can’t even afford a car they are even worse off? Society should not waver on its social services, or sociietal norms to only meet the needs of unhoused people with cars. Many managers won’t hire housed people who don’t have a car, or even share a car with a spouse. Societally mandated car ownership just makes everyone more poor and hurts those who cannot afford a car.
