When the next nearest town if ~5 miles away and you work, have family or shop there.. walking, biking etc becomes a ridiculous thing. And once you start talking about families and children.. Yeah, good luck.

Biking 5 miles is totally a reasonable distance to ride on a bike. My dad use to ride way more then that daily, and still bikes that far most days.

Try shopping for a family of 4 or 5 using the buss or a bike or walking etc.

It's pretty easy to carry goods for 5 people on a bike, if you have some good saddle bags. Even easier if you have a cargo bike. Lots of people do this around the world.

A lot of these fallacious assumptions rest on the idea that cars replaced trains and walking. No, cars replaced horses and buggies and just horses.

Are you serious? Cars are way more common then horses and buggies or just buggies before the car was invented.
