Cargo e-bikes generally have a battery capacity limit of around 25 miles (which batteries aren’t meant to be fully drained every time they’re used anyway).

Any suggestions that don’t include the use of cars in a carpool or moving?

Is “Fuck Cars” a pro-city/anti-rural philosophy?

    Your case, though, could be easily solved with trains easily solved

    while I agree with a lot of your post (certainly more informative than the others), I disagree that the issue could be easily solved. There is a lack of political will (at best) and an outright hostility (at worst) to the very idea of trains and public transportation.

      While a country connected by train sounds unrealistic and futuristic for most Americans the exact opposite is the case. The US ran on trains for the most part of its history. Almost every town built before 1940 had a train station at some point in time.

      What I tried to say is that it could easily be solved in the sense that the solution to your problem would be easy if your country would be willing to spend some money on infrastructure, but that will never happen simply because liberal democracy is incapable of doing anything to prevent the climate crisis, therefore it will never stop relying on cars.
