I’m always envious of people who have access to this in the places where they live.
I live in my country’s second best bikeable city and it leaves A LOT to be desired; but I used to live on the best bikeable city and that taught me that there’s much to be desired for bikeable cities in the United States.
Yeah I live here but I think you are only partially right. I was at a mall back in the day with some friends and we all decided to see a movie. They all literally drove across the parking lot rather than walk.
I live in the suburbs and despite riding my bike a lot, I simply couldn’t get by without a car.
