@UzumakiNaruto_ There're trailers that you can attach to bikes. Said bikes could then be installed with an electric motor to help you pedal it... But in general it's possible to do deliveries (even of furnitures etc.) without owning a vehicle. You just pay for the deliveries (or the cost be included in the purchase). Or maybe someone somewhere could subsidy it...

@dennisp8520 It's not a sentiment, it's a possibility and a reality in other places already. I'm not an avid bicycle user or anything either - but in the part of the world I live in (SE Asia) motorcycles are very common and I use it myself, and honestly if e-bikes keep getting better it's barely an imagination to see motorcycles being replaced by e-bikes. Even a standard SE Asian motorcycle that uses a petrol engine is already much more efficient than a car, fuel consumption is only half of any standard-sized car and not to mention the space saving (reason for owning and using a motorcycle often goes to the amount of congestion we have here and how small the streets and alleys are). Example of a cargo-bike rental service : https://twitter.com/pedalmeapp And an example of person in the US already using bikes (this one is in one of the suburbs of Minneapolis - to be precise, Minnetonka, MN) : https://americanfietser.home.blog/ But yeah, I'll say that your mileage may vary, though if we really want to move forward then we have to put in more and more efficient means of doing our life.

@TKUA11 Can you carry #3 or #4 40' long rebar on your car - or rather, would you ? Can you carry 8 cu ft of fresh concrete in your car ? How much sand can you carry with your car ? When we renovate our house we didn't use our car to take the stuff needed for it, we ask the contractor for that. Also, yes you can move furnitures and stuff with a bike. https://twitter.com/copenhenken/status/1350152421977313280

@kurisu7885 SE Asian motorcycles merely count as mopeds elsewhere XD
