@gwagner Drive when you are stuck in traffic, is an ability that any brick can do. Being an immobile device.

Bikes are way more practical. 😁 They are instantly a mobility solution, a daily fitness device, a relaxation enabler, a social contact facility and a cloth drying rack and music instrument. Metal boxes cannot provide anything of that.

@prefec2 @gwagner LOL biking is impractical unless you're only going a few miles in temperate weather during daylight... why it works in Amsterdam but nearly nowhere else. I have to go 8 miles somewhere with a bunch of stuff and it's rainy & I might have to come back at dark- bikes are useless and dangerous. And I've biked a LOT

@smokeygeo @prefec2 @gwagner and cars? This is my hometown- google estimates that a 13 km commute by car takes 26 minutes (best case) to more than an hour in worst case. So driving is either a couple of minutes faster, or are twice as slow as biking. So bikes are really the more practical option.
