    It’s almost like most people will just use whatever is most convenient to get around, regardless of what exactly that is.

      With ebikes the range becomes less of an issue, and the cost is low. Cars with expensive maintenance and high travel and parking costs (after looking for a spot). Your bike you just chuck in front of the store.

      Bike bags and good clothing and you can easily travel the city while getting in some exercise.

      Added, cities become cheaper in maintenance and way prettier and fun to live in.

    So jealous… I think where I live, a doubling of the cycling population would be like “Oh hey look, there’s another guy!”

    Meanwhile cycling in any major US city is extremely unsafe and they ban cyclists from the sidewalks.

      The irony being that US roads have obscenely ample room for bike infrastructure compared to European ones.
