much is mentioned about the expense of cars. this is true the cost of owning a car is high. however the fact is people are choosing to have a car because they get a greater net profit from using one versus using a bike. the option of working closer to home and the other changes which a bike would foster reduces the net profit most people would have.
until the net profit of using a car comes close to not using a car the automobile will remain as popular as it is at present.
