It should be obvious to everyone that when traveling a mile from your suburban home to the nearby shopping center, you *need* a vehicle like this.
@breadandcircuses Not Just Bikes on YouTube has some great videos about this. Including why car makers are pushing huge trucks and SUVs on consumers to save money.
@breadandcircuses @muzikant I love that channel. Also exposed the farce that is "trying to make streets more bike friendly and ends up making them more dangerous for bikes" in Houston. I had to watch his "Why I Hate Houston" vid a few times. And as a native Houstonian, I nodded along to every point he brought up. It's a town built around the car and unless you're downtown and have traffic lights on every block, it's downright dangerous to walk.
