Comment on Arguing for the car as a good method of transportation is like arguing that having personal diesel generator to power you home is a good idea

  Because i cant bike holding fence posts and tools. Nearest shop is 15km one way trip and nearest bus stop 500m away. Long enough so i dont want to carry my groseries by hand.

  As for biking i do a lot of recreational bike trips.

    Wouldn’t an electric bike be an option? They go 25 km/hr (speed pedelecs can even go 45 km/hr, handy for rural areas).

    And there are bicycle bags, you put them on the back of your bike.

    that said, fair, recreational bike trips are fun. hope you have a good day :3

      I have an e bike and bike trailer, but you know what cars have? Covers. And locks. And suspension so my shit doesn’t get rattled to pieces or stolen or rained on.
