Is it a straw man when I am saying the majority of America is rural and therefore urban-specific fixes for this issue can’t fully apply in a country as large as the USA as it can for some the size of our smallest states
The size of a country shouldn’t impact urban areas that much. Cyclists aren’t biking from california to florida on a daily basis, they are biking from their home to their job, gym, or groccery store. Your country is not too big for bike lanes, you’re city planners are just wastefull.
Most countries that do that are also significantly smaller lol
Which makes my point. Japan has 300+ people per square km, almost 10x as dense as the US. They still put out fires and carry sick people.
My point is it’s much easier to have localized support when there isn’t miles between buildings lol
Oh I didn’t realize you were making a strawman argument.
We were discussing the unnecessarily large emergency vehicles.

Oh I don’t disagree, just a fair point, it wouldnt make any sense in rural areas, which is 97% of the USA landmass lol
