>Maybe you do not get to charger your bike Well, that's a bike. It has pedals. I ran out of battery more than once when testing the calibration of the battery gauge. And I could literally cycle back home. I don't even used the electrical assistance on most of my trips. It's there, but you use it when you want. It's better than a car, which dependent on fuel. Petrol has to be provided by what you call "the ruling class". (unless you dig yourself in the desert) Also, politicians who wanted to get more powerful (like Thacher) used to just get rid of the public transportation and services. Because of strikes. As people are heavily reliant on the public transportation in here, strikes are a powerful political tool against the "aristocratic type system". Lastly, I still have a car. I use it when I feel like using it, or to go on trips to burn a part of the money I saved after using a bike. You describe persons who are dependent on cars. But maybe this petrol-availability crisis can teach us to no longer be dependent on petrol. Cheap and easily available oil is over.
