    Do you really think the average American would pedal to work? Most of them are already upset they won’t have a giant metal box around them at all times now.

        If it were feasible for me I would, but the only way to get to my work is 15 miles of highway or 20 miles of super busy city roads that intersect with freeways

        That’s kind of what I’m asking - I already bike why switch? The thing I want but don’t have is cargo space for big items and privacy.

        The use case for people who won’t bike makes sense. Lots of older people, and fucking like 50% of adults are ‘obese’ in a lot of countries.
