Cars are noisy and take up a ton of space. In cities bikes seem like a way better way to go, especially with e-bikes. They are quieter, safer, smaller, and healthier. Auto fatalities are only low compared to previous years of auto fatalities. Also, electric cars are still noisy. Tire noise at 35 mph is the same on both electric and IC cars.
- C1sc0cat 6y agoFor some short journeys in good weather - yes but as the rate of bike theft is massively more than car theft Many offices / train staions don't have secure of street bike parking and I aint going be parking my bike on the street even if its a cheap £400mtb let alone a >£1200 Brompton
- flaque 6y agoBike theft and lack of bike parking seem like wildly cheaper and easier to solve problems than the mass of traffic infrastructure problems needed solved for cars.
- jschwartzi 6y agoBike theft is huge because the cops don't do anything about it.
- zip1234 6y agoUnderstandable concerns. Around me at least it costs about $7000 all in for the improvements for a single parking spot in the city. 2-bike lockers cost about $1000 and take up a fraction of the space.
