People in Peachtree City, Georgia are pretty adamant that are a viable and responsible mode of transportation. is just a bit south of Georgia’s capitol, Atlanta, and Peachtree’s residents travel freely along of golf cart paths. It has a population of 38,000 living among 13,000 households, but boasts 10,000 registered golf carts, according to . If you live in and don’t ride a golf cart, it’s possible you’re the odd one out.

The foot paths used by residents were once reserved for pedestrians, bicycles and scooters. But when people started driving golf carts, the practice stuck. The city eventually paved the footpaths and made the multi-use paths 10 feet wide, which encouraged more people to drive golf carts when going on short trips.

The trend is now spreading, as Slate . In states all over the country, golf carts are already popular alternative vehicles: Florida, California, Arizona and North Carolina.

Not only are golf carts popular among older drivers, but they’re also popular among younger ones, too. Peachtree City Mayor, Kim Learnard, says that 16 year-olds can legally operate golf carts, and teens use them in the city to visit friends nearby. I would really love to see what the golf cart tuner culture is like.

Carts can be either gas-powered or electric, typically costing around $10,000, give or take a few thousand. They generally and travel under 20 mph, making them significantly lighter and slower than a car. A roof provides protection from the sun; an optional can keep users dry when it rains.

These are all good points, and they highlight how golf carts could be a viable alternative to cars in the right places, but I can’t help think that the list of golf cart pros is overlooking what the rest of the world already knows: that smaller vehicles are much better — and eco-friendlier — than modern cars.

come to mind, but those can be pricy. I’m talking about two and three-wheel vehicles. , which weigh less than golf carts, can be either or and can be as easy to operate as bicycles. Maybe I’m , or maybe not. Some of the largest and have been familiar with the actual value that motorcycles, scooters and represent.

Peachtree City is a good step, but when are we going to see American cities copy Southeast Asia? Where is the Georgia city where motorcycle crash rates are much lower because everyone else is riding on a motorcycle? I’d argue the only thing bikes can’t do that a golf cart can do is fit four people because they’re only safer around other golf carts. You’re not going to feel safe surrounded by big trucks and SUVs. I like the project Peachtree City has going, but I’d love it if there were motos. Come on Georgia, let’s see some love for two-wheelers, too.
