Are you seriously comparing a $5k car to a brand new, high quality cargo bicycle? The equivalent cargo bike to a $5k car is below $500 and kids bicycles are below $100. Edit: As for why I calculated like that? It is quite normal for a car to cost $5k per year. You have insurance, maintenance, repairs, taxes, financing, depreciation and fuel to pay for. If you _only_ spend $5k on a car you're either going to skimp on a lot of those costs or pay it in maintenance, repair, and fuel... or you should compare it to the same tier of bicycles. Used bicycles you fix up yourself.
