This is almost completely solved by e-bikes. You can convert practically any bike to an e-bike and while it does cost money, it is cheaper than the costs associated with driving a car or the bus by orders of magnitude over the life time of the bike.

Walking is fine as well, though. No real reason to play off walking and cycling against each other.

Reason 1: a 6 year old who would like more time with an overworked mother who can’t move from her job (yet) due to visa reasons.

E-bikes are at least 5 times more expensive. Not everyone can afford one.

Far cheaper than cars though. But compared to walking, yeah.
