>>With the right infrastructure, at least! That —the right infrastructure— is the key! I live in the northeast US, and used to road bike very heavily both as off-season training for ski racing and also road bicycle racing. I had a few close calls at the time, but now, the traffic is so much heavier and more aggressive that I don't bike on the roads at all, only mtn biking (small exception for short road segments of a longer mtn bike ride in a very rural area). I have a 5mi commute to work which would be perfect for an e-bike or e-scooter, but the way the cars behave, I feel like it is just playing Russian Roulette. It's really sad, as either better infrastructure or a better trained/more considerate driver population would fix it, but neither is likely soon. So, I'm stuck hauling two tons of steel to and fro every day just to get me and my laptop to work and to home...
