@gcvsa@mstdn.plus#Bicycles and #ebikes do NOT solve the problems created by society's reliance on motor vehicles, because the problems created by society's reliance on motor vehicles are all related to the distance and speed at which motor vehicles can travel, not what fuel they use.
Replacing cars with bikes doesn't work, unless you are already within cycling distance of everything. It's land policy reform that is the solution we need, in addition to banning cars.
We must bring homes and destinations closer.
@gcvsa mixed use housing and public transportation. BRT, Trolley buses, subways etc
@scribblesonnapkins Transit suffers from the same issues, just at a different scale. Transportation is a wonderful thing, but it is not a good substitute for location.
I say this as someone who commuted 90 minutes each way on multimode transit to and from high school. It was worth it in my particular case to go to Stuyvesant High School, but it would have been better if there were simply more better schools in NYC, and really everywhere.
