Sure, some people might. And every little bit helps.
But car ownership rates in the US are actually increasing in recent years, despite the fact that cars are getting more expensive to own. And cars keep getting bigger, too. I just don’t think it’s realistic to expect large numbers of Americans to trade in their SUVs and pickup trucks for tiny little e-bikes.
- bluGill 4y agoWe need to quit thinking trade the car for a bike and start thinking use the bike for a few trips. I live near a major bike path. Every bar along it has a lot of bike parking ,but none of the other stores and restaurants have any at all, not even the bike shop. Many people drive their bike to the bike trail instead of riding. How do we get people to ride their bikes to get groceries? They could also ride to church on Sunday, or other similar activities. These little trips need to be tackled before we think about getting rid of cars.
