E-Bikers Ride Much Farther and More Frequently Than Regular Bikers

#ebikes are serious urban #transportation .

I wish everyone who usually takes a car for their short trips could try an #ebike for a week or even a day. Minds will be blown, second cars will be sold off, health club memberships cancelled, and JOY in daily life renewed. #cities

The “E-Bike Effect:” Those who bought e-bikes increased their average daily bicycle use from 2.1km (1.3 miles) to 9.2km (5.7 miles), a 340% increase. The e-bike share of all their transportation increased dramatically too; from 17% to 49%.

E-bikes support fewer car trips.

They are not 'cheating,' but are serious transportation.

Just read #NeurodivergentbyNature @joeharkness.bsky.social @chiffchat.bsky.social. A thoughtful, deeply personal, widely researched book, often funny & revelatory. It resonated, & I learnt much, too. It makes the intrinsic relationship between people & nature clear, in a fresh, important way. 1/3
