I've been cycling for 50+ years, and bike advocacy predates e-bikes by decades. I'm guilty myself. But I try not to oversell cycling as a universal solution to transportation, because it isn't. I also don't promise people that it will change their lives. Getting them on a bike at all is enough of a hurdle. These days, I advocate e-bikes, though I don't own one myself, because I figure the people who will ride a conventional bike are already doing so.
