    Bikes combined with public transit usually cut down those times massively. And to ask—good, or good by usa standards? Cities in Germany or japan are impressive with how fast you can get places by train.

    Also-- people being unwilling to trade a bit of convenience in exchange for a better world is a major part of the problem. I got off my car and started biking for everything, and it was easy. More people could easily do the same. Combined with trains, I can go very far.

          The roads are deadly. I’ve lived here almost 20 years and I have seen exactly one person trying to ride on these roads. There are some places with bikes in the ditch on the side of the road with crosses as memorials. You can’t walk the roads either.
