Cargo e-bikes generally have a battery capacity limit of around 25 miles (which batteries aren’t meant to be fully drained every time they’re used anyway).
Any suggestions that don’t include the use of cars in a carpool or moving?
Is “Fuck Cars” a pro-city/anti-rural philosophy?
Getting food delivered would not only be outrageously expensive but it also requires a car on the road. It is not very practical to grow 100% of a family’s caloric needs without spending many hours every day outside working (I would love to see a guide that shows how to do this) and there are plenty of necessities that just can’t be produced on a single plot of land.
If anyone that was rural followed this advice, they would be a large amount of rural people living in poverty and there would be an even larger disconnect between urban and rural populations.
exactly! deliveries still require a vehicle - whether it is yours or someone else’s. As for growing your own food, it is healthy in so many ways - sun, exercise, fresh air, and the nutrients are far, far higher in produce freshly harvested then immediately cooked without eating leftovers. It is very hard, though. Poverty isn’t great (I don’t love it), but sometimes you must sacrifice to live by your values. But, working from home has greatly increased, so for those with internet (Hughe’s usually in rural areas), this could mean not living in poverty. As for a disconnect between populations isn’t that part of diversity? i think it is okay - especially considering we have internet now, so can see what others are doing, saying, thinking - we are no longer isolated in our own little bubble - unless that is our mindset, our choice.
