Is this some universe where people forgot bikes exist? How are electric vehicles better than riding a bike?
Less effort? I don't know where environmentalists got the idea that the average guy is a cross fit three time gold medalist, most people want effortless traversal
You'd be surprised how easy biking is. Plus the more you do it the easier it gets.
easier to steal too, which why prefer folded bike so I can take it to my office instead of parking it outside for easy theft
I would love to have a Brompton or something like that for the same reason. Or easier to take it to other cities to ride.
