Not that I think this lady is capable of thinking this deeply, but I wonder whether if people switch from cars to bikes if they'll go to the salon less frequently. Since your hair isn't going to be as perfect anyways, if you're wearing helmets all the time. She could have an ulterior motive.
It's a good point in this very specific context, for sure.
Are all her clients from out of town?
If not, are her clients local and within walking distance?
If not, I would imagine they are close enough to bus, bike, ride share, etc. I'm assuming those are paid parking spots, so they could offset the cost of parking with using any other mode of transportation.
We (as a society) really have to stop driving places when a dozen other options exist. Driving should be one of the last options to choose, and it would need to be for a reason other than convenience to even come close to justifying.
this is the real reason no dutch people wear a helmet, the government is controlled by the hair styling industry
