    “The typical American devotes more than 1500 hours a year (which is 30 hours a week, or 4 hours a day, including Sundays) to his [or her] car. This includes the time spent behind the wheel, both in motion and stopped, the hours of work to pay for it and to pay for gas, tires, tolls, insurance, tickets, and taxes .Thus it takes this American 1500 hours to go 6000 miles (in the course of a year).

    The full quote makes a lot more sense.

      That’s a long road to tell me that humans still go about 4mph despite all this technology, infrastructure, and global economies of scale.

      I’ll keep my bike lol
