Banning cars on SF’s Market Street, once a radical...
What's so categorically terrible about this? If it's cold you wear warmer clothes, if it's icy you put on studded tires. The point is if you actually wanted to get rid of cars in city centers it would be absolutely doable.

Go cycle around a city, load/unload heavy things for 8 hours in the pissing rain and come back with how it's not terrible.

They don't have to have an 8 hour shift. What about a 6 hour shift with breaks?

So you are telling them to be less productive and/or take less pay?

Seems like if it's that physically taxing they might make slightly more hourly to have the same pay overall. Yes, costs of delivery would go up.

You can't unload a truck to a corner shop from inside the cab anyway.

But you do get back in the nice heated/cooled rain free cab between drop offs to shelter yourself from the elements.
