11. I've been looking at rail systems in different cities...

There's an interesting resistance to it, sometimes from the cycling community and always, of course, from the RW.

I learned that rail cars move more efficiently than any other wheeled form of transportation, very low rolling resistance.

All the cities used to have local rail, streetcars, like that, and then all the cities were convinced or bribed to remove them in favor of cars and buses.

It's time we go back!

We need more walkable cities and communities where you don't need a car at all!
