The secret to a better city that gets cars off the road and reduces pollution? Even bolster economic mobility?
E-bikes.
As @clivethompson.bsky.social reports, they're proving so transformative that places like Denver are literally giving them away.

People don't buy new things until they have to usually. Your under 10% that switch to E Bikes won't impact that significantly.
Cops don't give a shit & newer ebikes are $$.
I will use my ebikes for exercise but if I don't feel safe parking at the market, I'll drive my car there instead even if my ebike could have done it
Deep snow is terrible, feels like going uphill all the time and you can't properly brake. Not advised LOL.
Also, not in or from the US.

Back when I lived in the east suburbs of Cleveland my 45min commute would've been 3 hrs
Most places need public transportation infrastructure
A little less mobility, but more pressure for alternatives to car-dependent societies.
I thought UKans had been riding bicycles on the street for a century.
New riders who didn’t switch from bikes?

Headphones ARE really bad. 2 neighbours have told me they had to break hard as pedestrians crossing in front of them do not hear them. Or even hear their beeping horn.
Another neighbour broke arm steering around a headphoner.
You're not pointing out facts, you're misrepresenting shit.
