One thing I never see addressed with the dream of ending cars and just having bikes is how do first responders operate? How do you transport unconscious people to the hospital? Put out an apartment fire? Get to an armed robbery in time to stop it?
Bikes are great but they also aren’t an end all be all solution to society.
No one wants to eliminate fire trucks and ambulances in favour of bikes.
When people talk about “ending cars” they’re talking about private ownership of personal vehicles. It’s not necessary to address first responders because that’s not what anti-car people are talking about.
