    A car can’t replace the handful of flights I make

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

    As it turns out, you can run multiple transportation options

    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.
