Families switch cars for cargo bikes for daily commute as cost of living continues to bite
www.abc.net.au
Since getting a bike over a year ago, Alice Humble and her family have saved $800 in petrol. They're one of many households choosing cycling as car running costs increase.

So, what’s the take away here ? make it so expensive to live people choose cycling and we get better cities ?

    I’m sure it would get stolen in a heartbeat unfortunately.

    This is like saying a car would get stolen immediately. If you can’t afford an adequate lock for an expensive bike, you can’t afford the bike to begin with.

    (Not as in, you’re too poor to buy the bike. As in, it’s part of the total cost of ownership you need to budget for.)
