    A car can’t replace the handful of flights I make, hence it can’t cover all of my transportation needs and I will be forced to only fly everywhere.

    As it turns out, you can run multiple transportation options for multiple purposes just fine

      Such an absolutely insane comparison. Can you take a flight to the grocery store?

      No one said you can’t. But my current transportation options cover all of my needs, so why would I add another, other than luxury?

        Just off the top of my head:

        • It’s cheaper
        • It’s fun
        • You get exercise
        • It affords you some flexibility
        • You get lower transportation emissions

          Its not cheaper if it can’t replace my car, it’s much much more expensive.

          I already have a fleet of bikes for exercise and recreation. I don’t actually use them for transportation because its unsafe and takes 10x longer to do things and I don’t want them to get stolen.

          I already have a very efficient electric sedan so my transport emissions are very minimal.
