    People don’t even need car tbh. Motorbikes everywhere please. Zip zip, less traffic, everyone pays attention to road or falls and dies.

      This might be the dumbest comment I have ever read on the Internet. That’s like 30 years of comments.

      I live in Maine. Riding a motorcycle in the winter is not only highly unpleasant, it’s borderline suicidal.

      I’m all for 2 wheeled transport where it works, but anywhere that gets snow for months out of each year it’s a non starter as a primary transportation mode

      Yeah, no.

      Those things are death traps and there’s a reason why they’re mostly prevalent in nations where people literally can’t afford anything safer.

      You would think killing off the stupid would improve the breed. But apparently the real world shows it does not. Besides, I ain’t riding a motorbike at -40 Celsius or Fahrenheit or in 30cm/12" of fresh snow or in a thunderstorm.

          Motorcycle rider here. Yes, families with children will rent a truck anytime they want to purchase groceries, and when it’s raining. It’s not practical.

          This is a stupid thread.

            Are you by chance from the US? Because other countries have sensible zoning laws and public transit, making cars for families not a necessity but a luxury. Where I live, nobody needs a car. Shopping is done by cargo bike or hand cart, family trips are taken by train or metro.

            If you live in a stupid country tho people might depend on cars.

            The maybe use public transport? If you REALLY need to use buy car - buy one.

            Also: families were not mentioned before in this thread. Is driving around with your partner and 5 kids and a couch a daily occasion?

              Lol, come here and use our public transport options before you speak. This entire thread is led by those laying wide-reaching proclamations while being unable to consider any situation other than their own.

                    Okay, then advocating for better urban planning and less urban sprawl. Unless you live in a rural area, you shouldn’t be required to go into debt to pay for a multi ton machine to be able to buy food. It’s odd that only in the last hundred years humans have stopped being able to function day to day without vehicles.

              Let me go ahead and quote the broad spectrum claim that came before mine:

        (/s cause it is probably needed)

        And the exact reason that you don’t need to buy a truck to transport goods once in a blue moon

          average suv should have racks on top to strap it and depending on the model space in the back.
