Better for the environment, better use of urban spaces, cheaper to maintain the infrastructure, lowered healthcare costs, far fewer people being killed going to work, less dependency on oil, more affordable for families…
Wouldn’t it just be cheaper overall for the governments of the world to gift every household an e-bike? Surely, it would be more sustainable than having more and more and more large vehicles with one occupant doing less than <10km of driving all day long, no?

The biggest hurdle is the lack of bike infrastructure (manly bike paths and parking)
There’s tons of bike infrastructure everywhere. We’ve just collectively decided that it should exclusively belong to cars.
And if the reason we don’t have more bike infrastructure is because money is being put into other things, this would solve that problem, too :)
