A researcher asked 10 people to go car-free for 20 days. None wanted to continue - Sopuli
Article about an experiment from Brisbane, Australia.
Ive been car free my entire life and I will continue to do so for the rest of my life
Or until you start a family.
Ah yes, I forgot it’s impossible to ride public transport with kids…
Public transport has routes and stop where they are planned to stop.
Maybe you’re lucky and it will not be far from every of many places you have to be that kids can walk the rest of the way.
I knew 2 people who definitely wouldn’t get a car after getting a kid.
First one got a car almost immediately because difficult.
Second one took about a year. She ran out of people to guilt people in helping the poor single mom.
Our systems are not perfect, you can ask people in wheelchairs how difficult they have it to get around.
And I see a lot of cargo bikes now, sometimes with 3 kids.
All great in theory.
But our bike paths were not designed for these relatively huge things. It creates dangerous situations.
Not to mention how fast they can go since all of them are electric.
