If the only road vehicles were occasional 20kph last mile delivery vehicles and emergency services, our roads and cities could look drastically different. Outside cities, this doesn’t really apply and we probably still need traditional road vehicles.

Cries in New Zealand where consistent 1m is a luxury. We have bike lanes which sometimes narrow to 1m for both lanes

I’m sitting here with a messed up and hugely swollen upper lip and half a dozen bandages. But not from tram tracks, just from my bike losing traction on wet painted concrete at 35-40kph and sliding on my face for a good meter or two. Somehow no broken bones or lost teeth. Hooray for helmets.
