    but I could never ride a bike 300 miles for a weekend trip to any arbitrary destination.

    Work out. You can do it if you simply get thighs of steel.

    You need to be introduced to cargo bikes and rain tents on bikes

      You don’t know about my thighs!

      Jokes aside, it’s one thing to say it’s possible to recreate some aspect of car ownership with a bike. But it’s making the individual responsible for something that requires a societal solution.

      Suggesting impractical alternatives to what are easy benefits with cars isn’t a serious alternative. And we won’t fully replicate everything a car does. But understanding where the trade-offs are is essential to approaching the problem.
