        Maybe someday it will be possible but yeah rural areas probably need cars.

        Although in parts of Europe they have pretty great bike path networks in the rural areas too. Might replace some trips to the neighbors or closer destinations.

          Im all for ditching ice engines, and finding better alternatives, the downside is its over 2 hours by bike one way to the closest town. The other downside is being rural, power is super expensive, so even charging batteries sucks too

            Yeah I mean I’m known to meme about banning cars but keep in mind we’re talking about in cities. We know you will need them in some areas.

              Oh for sure, the lack of robust public transit is really depressing. I’d love 15 minute cities where you can get everything you need within 15 minutes that would be amazing
