Because our previous generation of 1% wealth leaders had a vision to make an entire economy built for, and dependant on, gasoline and oil. This new generation of wealth leaders don't have as strong of a vision. They just see some weird techno-feudalism fantasies where they rule us all because of social media and AI or some shit.
I wonder how many cargo bicycles would be needed to move the contents of a truck, and how refrigeration would work. Or would we just not transport things that needed it?
Maybe more local farms...
....and what about building houses, large panels of wood. Perhaps specially bicycles would be developed? I've seen multi-person bicycles in weird arrangements - like that Beer bicycle... Or that seven person conference bicycle at google.
EDIT people down voting this and making exceptions for other road vehicles, oh well, then you'd have roads. Roads to deliver cargo and stock to every major supermarket and green grocery.
Obviously no one is suggesting moving freight by bicycle.
