It's like GP has never shopped at Costco.
Edit: or had elderly parents. When someone needs to use a walker, good luck getting them on a bicycle. Plus, where do you carry the walker?

Functioning public transit gives a lot of freedom to elderly people who cannot drive anymore. Much more than individual cars.
Nobody is against cars when they make sense.
This poster appears to be against cars:
> Small electric vehicles effectively solve the last mile problem of public transport.
EDIT: I made a factual statement. If you downvote me for it, at least have the courtesy to say why. If there's something dumb, it's downvoting for factual statements that aren't even expressing either opinion.
Advocating for more people to use car-less transit more often is not the same as banning cars.

This is a straw man argument, since at no point was anyone saying that Grandpa has to cube the car and hop on the saddle. The fact that some people cannot use a bike is a terrible argument against using bikes in general. That's like saying "well, some people are blind, so let's just ban cars".
If the main point is "we should promote using bikes/public transport instead of cars", I think no one disagrees about that - and that's why an extreme case gets mentioned, because there is no point in talking about a mild case and there is still a lot of people that want a full ban.
