Public transport. Doesn’t really exist in this area

I live rural with no car and pretty mediocre public transport. No spring chicken and not particularly active. If I can get by anyone can. US is a bit different but thats cos you fetishised automobiles.

Use a bike: works great unless you are older or there are no safe places to ride or both

Okay, what about ebikes? What about electric mopeds or scooters? And infrastructure helps but its definitely not essential.

Use your feet… it’s 5 miles to get to the hardware store, 4 miles to get to the grocery store, 6 miles to get to work. How is that going to work in sub zero temps or when it’s raining

Obviously walking is only ideal for shorter journeys. My grandparents used to walk 5-10 miles daily cos there was no other way to get about. You wrap up warm, and to be honest when theres ice/snow on the ground I prefer to walk.

Get an ev . They are expensive and I can barely keep my car on the road.

Nope. Healthy second hand market these days, and plenty of cheap little ones most governments will give you a grant for. Cheaper to fuel. Cheaper to maintain cos less moving parts.
