      rural communities also used to have better rail infrastructure as well. With our current car prioritizing infrastructure, you are going to have a hard time convincing rural people give up the agency that a automobile gives them with regards to being able to have a career, grocery shop, get their kids to school, etc.

      Hopefully remote work can fix that first problem as that will help the other issues as well.

      The safety bike was invented in 1885 and the model T was invented in 1908. So the precar bike heyday was pretty short.
