I don’t have to be a farmer… About 330 miles, actually. I don’t have to worry about doing that anymore (he recently died). However, my wife and I went to a major city twice last month, an hour and a half one way, for medical reasons. We go at least once a month.
I also have to take an obese person to another city 45-60 minutes away multiple times a month. I did so today and will again Friday. He can hardly see me. No way would he be able to ride a bike.
You don’t seem to realize that there are people with health conditions that preclude them from riding a bike. I actually used to walk everywhere when I was in college. It’s not really feasible now even if it’s not about 120 degrees outside.
In good cities (countries) you take a train, and take the bus to the train station, where the bus lowers itself to the pavement so you can wheel right in. I’m guessing you live in USA though.
I’m not going to put my wife’s wheelchair on my bike as we travel, especially when it would be 5-6 hours by car to go to her dad’s place.
Right there. You’ve normalized driving 5 hr, roughly 200 miles? It’s a crazy way to be. No one’s proposing you strap your wife to your handlebars
