Some people are completely unable to understand that not everybody lives in a city with everything on their doorstep, some people have children, and some people need to be able to transport more than a few small items at a time.
I find the opposite to be true. Taking a train is so much more convenient. Don’t have to find a place to park, don’t have to do any work to get there. Just sit down and wait
Bikes are nice because I don’t have to worry about traffic much, and generally parking isn’t an issue
Cars are really inconvenient. You have a gigantic vehicle that you have to navigate around many other vehicles, then find a parking spot, usually not close to where you’re actually going
> setting has bikes and trains
> still using cars as main form of transportation
Cars are much more advanced tech than bikes. Hell we have partly self driving electric cars now. That’s some sci-fi shit
huh, now i want to slap some sensors on my ebike so it can do ACC
That’s why I can’t understand how some bikes can cost as much as a small used car.
And some watches cost far more than both.
Price isn’t always perfectly aligned with complexity or utility 🤷♀️
Hold on, let me just load up the family onto my bicycle and ride the 15 miles to the grocery store.

You do know steam powered locomotives started appearing in the early 19th century, long before than cars?
Trains and bikes are much more inconvenient. Though bikes are good for close proximity.
