Interestingly, parents also drive with their children in the car and sometimes get into accidents. What a bizarre world we live in!

Interestingly, they drive vehicles with a massive amount of technology like crumple zones, and buckle them into specially designed seats so that if they get into an accident they have a good chance of surviving.

Bikes are extremely exposed in comparison. One small tap could be devastating.

They drive vehicles that cost $10,000USD per year to own. And maybe they need two, if they have 2 or more children(!).

Cars are a great technology, but a city cannot scale with everyone owning their own car, and families cannot build wealth paying $20,000+/year for their 2-car transit lifestyle.
