    They’re great for city commutes to work, quick trips to the market, dropping a kid off at school, and transporting your pet to the dog park.

    Do I need a car for that?

      In the US there are no pedestrian paths and you have to pass 20km of parking lots to get anywhere

        Wait, I knew it was bad, but there are no pedestrian paths? Don’t you have super wide roads, so there’d be plenty of space for them…

          Super wide roads for tall ass vehicles who can’t see your kids.

          Oh and they speed usually about 5-10mph over the speed limit.

          It’s a death sentence for a non-vehicle to be on the roads. I’ve already been hit 2 times on a bike to school.

          No one pays attention, no one stays at a reasonable speed, everyone thinks they own the roads.
