As if everyone can ride a bike, lol.[/quote]

Most people can[/quote]

Sure, most people can ride a bike, but that doesn't mean a bike is the preferred means of transportation for most people, especially those with families who often have to make multi-stop errands.[/quote]
Most of the bicycle people don’t have young kids, know people with disabilities, etc. They don’t envisage that there are people that have very different transportation needs than they do. [/quote]

People in the Netherlands bike with young kids all the time.[/quote]

People in th US do to, but not with 4 kids and all their hockey equipment, or the child's expensive double bass, or lugging thier child's wheelchair which they'll need at their destination, etc etc. etc.[/quote]

Ah good point. If everyone can’t use alternative transport in every single situation then we should not offer any alternative transportation at all. I can walk my kids the theee blocks to school but because their teacher lives in the suburbs and drives there shouldn’t be any sidewalks at all. And I can bike my kid in a cargo bike five miles away but I shouldn’t buy a cargo bike because he might have hockey practice at soem point in the future. [/quote]
