Guess we're all going back to horse drawn carriages with wood wheels.
Have you heard about trains? More than a hundred years ago people could go from one village to another using a network of railways. My rural region had multiple stations and it was possible to go in cities that now require a car to do so.
And now I'm cycling on some of that old disused railway network. In rural regions too!
