Cycling isn't impractical.
Loads of people manage to cycle to work. Granted I wouldn't expect anyone to move house just so that they could only run one car when they can afford to run two, but this "standard of living they are happy with" is arguably a luxury, not a need.

well, it is if you need to cycle down a muddy towpath to work
and you sometimes need to be smart and your office doesn't have a shower and an iron.

No job 'needs' you to be dressed smartly.
That's just a luxury.

bollocks.
now you're talking about changing the whole preconceptions of human society. Not just since the invention of the car but for the last thousand years or so.

good luck with that, too

Something's gone horribly wrong when I can post something so obviously absolutely ridiculous and still
find someone to argue with me. I'm a little offended that you have such a low opinion of me that you think that I'd think such a thing. I'd flounce, but flouncing's for girls.

it wasn't even me, either.

something's gone horribly wrong
if you thing I'm actually arguing seriously.

But wanting to live where they live, and therefore having to both work
Does mean that they need to get to work and sometimes only a car will do that.
