Avoid the high fossil fuels prices. Bicycles are a fossil fuels free transportation option. Bicycles, ebikes, electric cargo bicycles, robo taxis and escooters are great options for last mile, short distance travel. Cities need to do more to encourage people to ride bicycles by providing SAFE, PROTECTED BIKE LANES and trails. Every adult and child should own a bicycle and ride it regularly. Bicycles are healthy exercise and fossil fuels free transportation. Electric bicycles are bringing many older adults back to cycling. Ride to work, ride to school or ride for fun. Children should be able to ride a bicycle to school without having to dodge cars and trucks. Separated and protected bike lanes are required. It will also make the roads safer for automobile drivers. Transportation planners and elected officials need to encourage people to walk, bike and take public transportation. Healthy exercise and fossil fuels free transportation. In the future cities will be redesigned for people not cars. Crazy big parking lots will be transformed.

@clutchedsanity8790 Bicycles are a great option. Cargo bicycles and ebikes can handle groceries and other casual shopping quite easily. Remember it is just an option. You can not go anywhere in your car when you have no fuel. On a bicycle you go anywhere at anytime and don't need to worry about fuel. Every adult and child should own a bicycle are ride it regularly. Children should be able to ride a bicycle to school and not have to be driven in a car.

EVs are great. Bicycles are also a great option.

Population needs to be in balance with jobs, resources, nature and the environment. Having a bigger population in any country than the country can support makes no sense. Access to food, water, shelter and jobs should guide population levels. The worlds population is still expected to add another billion people to feed, clothe and produce pollution. Humans are crowding out all other species of plants and animals. Education and birth control are key to reducing poverty and hunger. Having a child that you can not provide for yourself is cruel and irresponsible. We need solutions not just sympathy. Endless population growth is not sustainable on a finite planet. Every country needs to "TRY" to be more self sufficient. When there are not enough resources to sustain a population something has to give. Countries need to focus on quality of life for their citizens and not just quantity of life for cheap labor.

@sajinth2006 Don't be ridiculous. Bicycles are a great option for shorter distances. With the money you save riding a bicycle you can afford to pay for that expensive petrol or diesel for your car the few times you drive that far. Better yet buy an electric vehicle and charge it with free energy from the sun if you put solar panels on your roof. With all the money you can save by riding a bicycle most days you will have lots of options to get solar panels or an EV or both. The cost of fossil fuels will continue to get higher every year. Free energy from the Sun with still be free in 10 years. A bicycle expands your options and that is a good thing.

@kenbob1071 Bicycles are a great way to save money. Like you said no fuel costs, no insurance, no maintenance costs, no taxes and healthy exercise to keep in shape and live longer with fewer doctor bills.

@CHAOS Solar energy is the future. Every home and business roof can add solar panels for energy. Utility companies are building large solar farms for energy. Fossil Fools are old polluting technology making the Climate Crisis worse.

@JudeTheYoutubePoopersubscribe Wind and solar energy can be produced locally and once installed there is no monthly fuel costs. Free energy from the SUN and WIND. Free is better than paying for high priced fossil fuels.

@JudeTheYoutubePoopersubscribe How much does gas or diesel costs. Once installed solar panels provide free energy from the sun. Use that petrol money and get solar panels and a bicycle.

@JudeTheYoutubePoopersubscribe Most solar systems have a pay back period of about 7 or 8 years. Solar keeps getting better and cheaper every year. You might want to get another quote and size the system for what you actually need. It is generally a good investment. You save on energy costs now and even more in the future. Property values are increased if you were to sell. You do not have to worry about constantly increasing utility prices every year. Fossil fuels will keep getting more expensive. Free energy from the sun is still FREE. A 7 or 8 year pay back is a good deal. Most people are poor because they think short term up front expense instead of thinking about long term savings. Over the long run you will be money ahead with solar energy.

@JudeTheYoutubePoopersubscribe There are many people with solar panels in the UK. Some even have YouTube videos.
