An enormous proportion of car journeys in this country are people driving themselves 5-10 miles to work, or going to pick up a few bags of shopping, and as we have an aversion to bicycles, on paper it’s an excellent idea.
Unfortunately having a vehicle that’s suitable for that and only that isn’t going to appeal, plus many of those journeys will involve a segment on a 50 mph bypass or link road somewhere.
