Correct, they’d use a horse or a mule. Cars are an improved horse. Walking and biking are hobbies at best.

No. Just no. You can easily create a mechanical advantage greater than that of a horse with pedal power. And walking is still the majority way to get around in countries that aren’t “western”.

You are surely regarded.

Wtf are you on? I grew up in a European city. I never got a driver’s license or even learned to ride a bike. Everything was within walking distance of my home or of a subway station. Lived like that for almost 30 years. Only when I moved to the US in a suburb I had to get a car because nothing was within reach.
