Some cyclists, and other nonmotorists, may have a negative attitude toward cars. But Thies, a cyclist who for years didn't own a car, says critics need to face the reality: We can't get rid of cars. They're essential to the economy, he says."[Cars are] the predominant form of transportation in America. In fact, it's something that we can't live without," Thies says. "When you get a refrigerator delivered ... they don't bring it on a bicycle. ... They bring it in an automobile. It's easy to vilify the automobile, but it's not productive."
smart fella
I guess this guy has never heard of Zipcar or GetAround? How often do you buy a refrigerator? If Columbus had better public transit (even just a better bus system) and a good car sharing program for the times you need to do heavy shopping, thousands of cars could be taken off the road, our air quality would improve and families would save a lot of money on car ownership.
