Modern transport for short distance
(lemmy.nz)
My strong belief is this type of transport is what we really need to adopt en masse.
It can carry 2 adults or 1 adult and 2 kids, has enough boot space to do your shopping, and protects you from the elements (which is the #1 issue with bicycles).
If there was a way these could be mass produced so they are cheap enough for people to justify.. that would be a game changer.
One issue with these kinds of bicycles is that many designated bicycle lanes are obstructed by poles or similar to avoid mopeds and cars driving there in the first place.
