We hop in the car to get groceries or drop kids at school. But while the car is convenient, these short trips add up in terms of emissions, pollution and petrol cost.
We use our cargo ebike for most short trips especially in the city. Kids love it and parking is non issue. Hoping for safer streets for kids on bikes and older folks so they can join.
We have a cargo bike that’s electric assist. You’re underselling how much kids love it. They go mad. We do school runs in it and kids always want to go for rides.
Our kids love it too except 80% of the year it is 38-48 F and raining. Which is pretty miserable on our school runs. And the kids keep fighting me on their rain gear.
I feel like so many American cities would be immensely improved by having separate paths for people on bikes, scooters, foot just to get around away from the loud stinky cars and impatient distracted drivers.
This is the main reason I don’t bike around town. I can pedal a few miles no problem, but I don’t trust a painted line on the pavement to keep me safe from distracted drivers.
