Even some one-car households ditched vehicles in favor of cargo bike-sharing.

    Yeah, goog luck using that and not getting robbed in my city. Some things might sound sensible on paper, not so much in the real world.

      The real world does not consist of your city exclusively.

        True. Which is why saying generically saying “people” is not correct considering that not every city can be traversed in a bike due to a large number of reasons.

          I think you are taking the people to mean “everybody” which I agree would not be true, but people is still correct as a plural of person as long as more than one person does prefer the bike, which is almost guaranteed.

          Now whether saying people in a statistical sense means more than 50% or whatever metric we like is up to the reader, but that is a much less normalized standard.
