I live in an area where lots of parents have bikes designed to hold two kids in the back.
I don’t know what you’re rambling about with train travel. Could I just teleport us to the train dimension, where I could lament that cars will never work because we have interstate rail, and no highways? Makes about as much sense.
That's fine, but we don't live in the train dimension. We live in the car dimension. And unlike your train dimension, problems the car dimension are real and people who truly want to replace cars as the main mode of transport for the majority of people will realize that comes with actual problems that need to be solved for actual people in order to make any real progress. I know it's hard but to achieve your goals you will have to tap into some dormant empathy in order to further your goals.
