To be fair, you can fit 7 people in an suv. Picture would have been more effective if there were more bikes than how many people that can fit in an SUV. I agree with the message though.

And there is space for at least two more bikes as the leftmost bar is empty.

But an SUV carries at least 8 people and their luggage along with 3 to 6 thousand pounds of SUV...maybe if we made it electric and removed 2 to 5 thousand pounds, that could be interesting? A tandem electric bike, 2 tires, 8 people, huge efficiency! You just need to all be going to the same place.

I've always wondered if a minimalist monorail could ever happen. Imagine the freedom of a bike but you could ride say 20 people all together from one city to another carrying your bikes along. In Seattle you definitely want the outer covering of a gondola, but there are cities where you don't really need a shell.

I'm pretty sure you don't understand what "at least" means.

Normal use 1 person. Max use maybe at least 8?

[–] grue@lemmy.world 2 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Most SUVs max out at 5 people; only the largest have a third row of seats.

Also, even those seat "at most" 8, not "at least" 8.

OK at most then.
