JA Genter cycles in labour to hospital

Better yet, just use a lighter vehicle like a bike.

Great in theory but like many people I prefer the protection of a bit of bodywork around me. I've survived enough years riding motorcycles to appreciate the decrease in vulnerability that a car offers over 2 wheeled vehicles.

Every car is just adding to the problem.

But it seems wasteful to me to use 1500 kg of steel and plastic to move 80 kg of person. And statistically it is much safer cycling. Perhaps emotionally it is more dangerous.

And it is much more dangerous riding motorcycles, you are going much faster and are more vulnerable. I also am a motorcyclist and former motorcycle racer and have had my fair share of crashes.
