You don’t need to fully replace cars to have a positive impact. I’m sure many people in the US could commute via bike if the infrastructure was there. Even if not every day, just sometimes. Also the public transit comment is definitely true in the US, and is not true many other places.
I see the benefits, and don’t disagree at all! Just saying that not all boxes need to be checked to offset some car use
You’re right, not every box has to be checked before it starts making sense for some people to switch to bike. I just commented because the original post was saying “why do we say cars are the ultimate symbol of freedom?” If someone can’t see why people like cars, they may have a hard time creating an environment where people move away from them.
Por que no los dos?
