The big probem in the US is that even when biking and walking is technically viable, you have to do it along side the 45 mph 6 lane stroads that intersect other stroads with awful intersections and crosswalks, and if there is a bike lane it’s a painted stripe along the dirty unmaintained shoulder.
Same here especially with the widest of roads and the lack of bike racks. I also gotta mention the hills. I remember when our car broke down, we had to bike for groceries at a Walmart 2 miles away. Going home was uphill and sharing the road with gigantic cars are terrifying. I would be riding our bikes more if it weren’t for those factors.
I live in an area that’s terrible for bikes, otherwise I’d consider an e-bike.

Yep. The roads around me are way too fast to even think about a bike.
