It's sad because if better transit options existed I doubt these e-bikes would have ever proliferated.
Sad also how slow and ineffective government is, from the perspective of housing and transit, and more over from failure to regulate danger to the public well.
- xmprt 3y agoE-bikes are the most energy efficient forms of transportation. The problem isn't e-bikes. If anything making e-bikes more ubiquitous would be a good thing since it would lead to better dedicated infrastructure for cycles as well as more cycling training in everyday life.
- blondie9x 3y agoNo it isn't. Riding a bike to a nearby station doesn't require lithium mining and is better for your heart and body. Where did you come up with most efficient transit option? By what metric?
- dgacmu 3y agoAs a counterpoint, I can't imagine a better form of transportation for the area in which I live. It's hilly enough that I really don't want to try and haul my kids (5 and 11, both quite tall) around on a non-motorized bike, but our cargo bike gets us most of the places we want to go faster than a car or bus would. And I get exercise in the process. It's the most delightful form of transportation I've experienced.
