Happy to be of service. I once got into a taxi in Dublin wearing a cool new outfit. I was nervous about deviating from the norm but did it anyway.
The taxi driver was on the phone when I got in. First thing he did was finish his phone call saying "I have to go, this fella's wearing dungarees"

My kids have never said "yay!, let's go in the car", whereas they love hopping on the cargo bike
Love this on e-cargo bikes & family life:
“Forgoing a second car may have been the reason we bought it, but it was simply more fun to see my son grinning on the bike.”
“You see the joy that the kids get out of it, the time you get to spend with them … [and] it encourages you to use it more.”

Load and behold: should you opt for an electric cargo bike over a second car?
