I'm sorry to read that places as awful for cycling as there still exist and surprised that you never need to go anywhere when traffic is busy.

That depends who's hosting it. There's few good reviews of email hosting out there at the moment.
Even if you self-host, other people's mailservers still interact with it, unless you only chat with other users you host. And some of the big webmails variously get really pernickity about your DNS, DKIM and more, or they deploy some pretty obnoxious countermeasures against your server with little explanation. So I'd say it's more often both than not, no matter what you do. If you think it's not being a pain, there's probably an unpleasant surprise in your server logs or coming soon!
It's still often worth self-hosting, but that's more big webmail really sucks, even ISPs often don't set their mailservers up well and it's often an early casualty of ISP managers looking for costs to cut.
Can people go by bike?
Even better, go watch a bike race. It's probably much cheaper, even with some travel.
There's so much dogma and confusion there that actually makes it difficult to follow in places! For example, it says
I have actually moved back towards more traditional road tire sizes
when actually talking about moving back to narrower sizes. The traditional road tyre width is 32mm, which is what 27" x 1¼" were when converted to ISO sizing. It's only really once aluminium alloy road bike frames and forks were being mass-produced that narrower sizes became a mass-market thing. The makers of "gas pipe specials" of my youth didn't want to work with such fine clearances. So moving back to traditional road sizes would be going wider from today's usual.
The kicker is in the end, though:
a straight-line aero contest on smooth pavement
which basically no non-racer is doing ever. At 23mph no less. At more ordinary speeds, 28-32mm will always beat 23mm on the muck-strewn uneven draggy chipseal that most of us ride on most of the time.
And 32mm is really not wide. We don't all need to go to "fat bike" car-width tyres, but 50+mm / 2+ inch tyres would be appropriate on city bikes and other beasts of burden.
Unusually, for once the answer to a headline question isn't a simple 'no' but more 'not without some fight'.

Is it faster to start up? Is it less snoopy? Are these in some FAQ I missed?
The lobbyist, Michael Prescott, was reportedly appointed to the BBC advisory position under the influence of BBC Board member Sir Robbie Gibb, a co-founder and early fundraiser of the pro-Trump TV news station GB News co-owned by hedge fund multimillionaire Paul Marshall. Earlier this year, Marshall called for the BBC to be dismantled
Where's the 'not surprised at all' emoji? The BBC budget is a bit over £5bn a year. Trump is reportedly demanding a billion. He's trying to gut the BBC, quite aside from any taxpayer revolt if a chunk of their TV tax (licence fee) is handed straight to the orange toddler.
Yes, Forester was more brazen than many of his fans. His use of anecdata is the sort of argument that gets dismantled on social media and bike forums. It's amazing he got away with it for so long, with his books being re-printed and updated. Maybe highways designers who didn't want to bother with cyclists were happy that an 'avid cyclist' gave them a reason not to, so ignored the silly footnotes and bad references.

It does say billions of pounds bet, so probably one of Entain, Evoke, Flutter or bet365, as not many others are that big.
In the UK, riding centrally in narrow lanes is taught so that the rider is where a driver is more likely looking, among other reasons, so they can take appropriate action to pass properly, as required by law. If you ride by the edge, they might not see you but will still hit you as they fail to pass.
