Thought about comparing different modes of transport, but realized it would be way too subjective. For example, if 5 km are in biking range is dependent on biking infrastructure, available public transport, how in shape you are…
But then I realized I can just simplify all these things away to get the optimal transportation flowchart. Simple is always better, right?
Hmm. Is a cargo-bike better than a bike in the Netherlands?
It has to be so, why else would it say so on my chart?
Longtail Cargobike 😍
I live in suburbia and walk to work because it’s in my basement and shipping a brain through meat space to push buttons somewhere else is dumb.
Well, I mix in some skateboard+public transport and bike+public transport but you are pretty much spot on.
Over 50km I try to carpool or do public transport . (Argentina, 70km away friend visit is not uncommon)
I’m too terrified of dying to an irresponsible driver, so as much as I would like to bike everywhere, I’ll keep taking the metro for now. They’re adding more and more actually decent bike lanes so hopefully one day…
