Before COVID, I used to often have a 45 minute commute by car or a 35 minute commute by bicycle. It's an 8 mile bike trip that is easy enough for me, a not particularly fit 56 year old, or a 9 mile car journey with 25 minutes of sitting in traffic. An electric bike would make it even easier to go further.

So, I'd question your numbers.

That there are cities that have actually done this doesn't seem to stop them insisting it's impossible.

You seem to be under the impression that a bicycle is more expensive to buy and run than a car. I'd love to see your working for this.

Why do so many right wing arseholes look like freaks?

Is that a massive hammer?

I'm old enough to remember when the roads were fixed as routine maintenance, rather than using infrastructure money for a quick bodge just before an election.

I've already gone there. I can't browse without an ad blocker.

Fun fact - she was named Sue Ellen after the Dallas soap opera character.

They are absolutely terrified that people will see that it works.
