All I ask is an e-bike and a path to ride her by.
If they could combine that with weather protection and more public transportation the car might finally die that final sweet death.
I wish i could also move more people with me on the bicycle
It would also be great if there was some sort of heater/AC in it as well
I ride from -20 to +35C in basically any weather and since jackets and shorts exist that’s all that’s needed. My friends have their own bikes they can ride…

Depending on the size of those people: bike child seat, bike trailer, or they can ride their own bicycle. Cargo bikes can easily carry two kids or one adult without even using a trailer.

That is called “dress for the weather”. Even snowflake pinko commies like me can do it.
Weather protection comes with a good jacket you can buy with the money you dont spend on cars.
I rode in all weather for years. Rain or shine, you really do get used to it.
Jacket doesn’t do shit for rain. Believe me, I’m an Aspie and I have too much sensory issues for getting out of home in bad weather. The day it rains is the day i WFH. All the problems stem from the fact that the jacket is too close to the body, generating sweat (and I already sweat too much without it), not to mention it’s not watertight. An enclosed velomobile would probably solve the problem, but I don’t think this sort of vehicle is legal in Poland and can guarantee getting to the office as fast as I’d on a motorcycle or even a moped.
And a small distance to my destination. When my previous job was 8 km from home, I could do the journey in half an hour on a Xiaomi M365 e-scooter, very popular in Poland. But unfortunately our company was absorbed by another one, with office 16 km away, which means prohibitively long (for my sleep-deprived ass) 55 minute commute. And no, public transit doesn’t make it shorter. So a motorcycle driving license it is.
Something smaller using less energy? Shocking.
And the fact that car prices keep climbing because capitalism demands infinite growth or death.
90% of our bike infrastructure now… Isn’t.
I’m not counting 1.5 feet on the edge of travel lanes where people are going 50 mph as bike infrastructure 🤷
I wonder what the effect of the estimated 1 billion regular bicycles is on cutting demand for oil?
There are elso legs.
