This article is vastly understating the potential benefits of e-bikes. Like-for-like replacements for car trips are only the tip of the iceberg; the real benefit of e-bikes is that the more people that use them, the less car parking we need. That means we can put back all those buildings we destroyed when we razed our cities for the car.
Fuck more buildings....make parking lots into parks and green spaces
We need more lanes. Just one more lane and we'll be done with trafic, I swear!1!!one!1!1!
