    Spoken like someone who hasn’t had to deal with kids. Or worked a job with a dress code.

      No, it’s spoken like someone who’s been to the numerous countries where they bike with their kids just fine.

      worked a job with a dress code

      A 5-7 mile commute is doable without being sweaty with the right bike.

        Sure, because rain and snow don’t exist.

            Cars exist too, and a whole lot more effective than a raincoat or a bubble. It’s a solved problem.

              Cars are a problem. They pollute(yes, even electric ones), are costly to run, greatly increase the danger of neighborhoods, cause a reduction in smaller businesses. They make it more expensive for people who don’t have money to get around, make it harder for children to get safely from place to place. They generate sizeable areas of development damage to growing people along major highways and roads(again, even electric causes this).

              It’s not a solved problem, cars are a problem.

                Everything pollutes, yes, even bikes.

                    The usefulness is also considerably different.
