cars put more strain on roads than bikes, walking and unicycling

I've seen one guy getting around my area on a bike in the last fifteen years. It lasted maybe two months. I hope he didn't die, but I'm sure he had a few near death experiences. The last time I tried to walk two miles home from the car shop I had three people stop and offer me a ride because it is that deadly. Just narrow two lane roads, no shoulder and a ditch. I'm inside the 275 loop in Cincinnati, I'm not out in rural nowhere.

We can't all ride bikes. That doesn't even touch people wirh physical limitations.

Had to add an edit to say Cincinnati people are awesome, thanks for offering the rides!

They do. I'm also in favor of tearing out intracity highways, converting roads in urban centers in walkable spaces, and shifting zoning to encourage the density required for those to be actually viable transportation.

Those are all super tall orders though, so I'm happy to start with shifting the financial burden for road maintenance to those mainly driving it (🥁)

Cars may do more, but for maintenance spending a car and a pedestrian have exactly the same impact.
