Cash-for-clunkers but make it eco-friendly

Bike shops don’t have big parking lots for used cars.
Used car dealers will buy anything, and you can take that cash to the bike store.

I like the idea in theory, but I think it would be a hard sell of “hey trade in your $10k+ car for this few hundred dollar bike”

Bikes can reasonably get to 1.5k at least without things getting too absurdly overpriced. If there’s a trade in it would at least be for bikes in that range.
$1.5k is still not a very expensive bike. Only at the low end of “non trash components”.
