    I’m on the edge of a reasonably big US city. No bus lines, no sidewalks or bike lanes. Just a ditch on the side with lots of big trucks driving 80-90km/hr on curvy, deadly two-lane roads. It sounds rural but I live on the inside of the city’s “loop” highway.

      Yeah so my point stands, you need a car. Have you seen an Ami in person? It’s a glorified electric scooter. Think of the tiniest car you’ve ever seen in your life and make it 3x smaller. No way I’m driving that on a US road with trucks overtaking me at 90 km/h, and I say that as an habitual cyclist and motorcycle rider.
