    They should see my 2001 car. I gotta say I’m impressed with how issue-free it is. Never left me stranded and all it asks for are oil changes and proper washing in certain rust-prone spots.

      Ill raise your 2001 car with my pedal bike, and I do all the maintenance myself. Cars contribute far too much towards the economy, a bike may actually be the cheapest form of transport. Even compared to walking. Last time I looked at it, typically walking wears through shoes faster than cycling wears through bikes on a cost/mile basis.

        I’d love a bike too but I don’t see myself carrying gram’s massive groceries with it hahaha

        I’d also loke a bloody garage to store both of them but the nearest one is like 150m away from my apartment :-/

          Its at least possible to store a bike inside your house, I live in a UK sized house (60m²) and my bike lives inside. How much does 1 person need? For the 2 of us a weeks shopping comfortably fits in 2 standard size shopping bags, my bike has pannier bags on the back that are larger than that and you can always get a longtail or even a full cargo bike if you need more space.

            Idk I like in a 40m2 apartment and we barely have space for basics :-/ there’s 3 of us here.

            I literally sold off a few things just because we have literally no space left.
