“Electric bikes are more than 10x more efficient than electric passenger cars, meaning the same amount of battery needed for a 20-mile commute in an electric car could power an e-bike for over 200 miles”

    You can do both with ease if you’re up for it. Not every bicycle looks like what you think a bicycle looks like - the US is very fond of sports-focused bikes that aren’t capable of much utility.

    To do more with a bike than just leisure/sports, you’d want to consider either something practical with a rear rack, a cargo bike, or an equad van

      i might be up for it, but my 2-year old child probably wont be, he could catch a cold instantly. Afterall if i were married, the decision wont be up to me, a wife wont tolerate taking babies to kindergarden with a bicycle and risk being rammed with a f-150, especially in the us, of all places. a car sometimes acts like a big metal box just to absorb shocks when an accident happen. but micromobility could be justified for other uses, but it shouldnt replace a car, or a bus. anyway, certain exceptions may apply
