Sorry but you have missed something. [b]Bikes could not possibly carry goods to stores.[/b] Well, I guess they could in very, very small amounts. But imagine how long it would take to stock a store or how much more money they would charge for merchandise if stuff was delivered by bike.  :D Also imagine how long it would take to get your mail or packages from someone if they had to cycle it across town.

We need vehicles, but we don't need bikes.[/quote]

And yet they do, all over the world. [/quote]

Really, all over the world? Imagine trying to stock the shelves at Walmart if they could only use bikes to bring in their goods. Or how about furniture stores? [b]Can you imagine a store getting a sofa delivered by someone on a bike?

Eh? I don't have to imagine it. See, for example: https://www.bikesatwork.com/blog/ikea-store-in-hamburg-germany-makes-deliveries-by-bike[/quote]I have to admit, those photos were a surprise but I'm still not wrong. You put up a photo of a store doing a delivery for a customer by bike. If the store had to wait on a guy with a bike to deliver merchandise to the store the store would be half empty. Imagine grocery stores waiting to stock its shelves because they were waiting for cyclists to bring in the food.

We've really gone off topic and that's mainly my fault. But my opinion is still the same. The next time you send out a Christmas card to a relative that lives across the country, imagine how long it would take to get there if the mailman had to ride his bike across country.[/quote]
