What really grinds my gears, is whenever it snows, and it is really easy to tell the cars aren’t even being used most days.
Our public space is apparently just a place for some people to store their personal belongings.
Makes me want to just put a freezer in a vacant parking spot and leave it there.
How far is in miles or kilometers? It sounds very doable if infrastructure is not forcing you a long way around :)
In my dense Europen city, even regular bike is faster than cars if we are talking in the city.
In the cities, sure. Outside the cities i think e-biks help a lot. 5 kilometers is fine on regular bike, maybe even 10 - but more that that is a lot easier on e-bike.
And i saw some research and how most trips are actually really short (where i live at least).
Also people have become way too unhealthy so just getting started, with all the sweating and exhaustion and wind is a barrier. Self-imposed, but still a barrier.
This is a horrible idea.
Meanwhile a battle royale between cargobike owners about parking unfolds in backyards, at schools and shops.
But i aint never seen car spots designated for cargobikes although three families could benefit from just one car space.
