I wish more people commented and participated in the conversation. this is a really important issue, I would like to see more views and more comments. thank you for the effort to cover this important topic.
Down here in florida, tampa area, bike theft is a big thing. Started seeing bike locker boxes at gas stations. Roll your bike into a metal box and put your lock on the door. Makes hiding a more expensive bike easier.
similar situation to me. that's why i paid extra for a folding ebike. always goes inside with me wherever I go. fully kitted, it's just under 35 lbs. not light but at least 20 lbs lighter than most alternatives and yet can carry 2 full bags of groceries or equivalent on frame. been great.
Here in the Rogue Valley in Southern Oregon, I use my 100% human powered bicycle to get around. Until my 2020 Chevrolet Bolt EV is fixed, this will be my main form of transportation.
Shared scooter and bike services and the like make excellent supplements to transit. Just need docks or scooters available near your start & end points
Glad the comments are back; not for us, but that you feel comfortable enough to turn them on. -cis-het white conservative guy who ISN'T one of the crazies.
brompton e-bike has been best transport purchase i've ever made. has allowed me to delay car purchase by years (or maybe never again). and i'm in north america so biggest downside has been drivers and lack of cycle infrastructure where i am. but i gladly ride the grey area of local laws and own the road where i must.
I disagree that consuming more EVs will reduce CO2 emissions. Consuming less “of everything” might. Having the option to not drive an ICE car but instead relying on a mix of PEV and urban mass transit will extend the life of the ICE vehicle somewhat, especially if the ICE vehicle is driven on trips where only an ICE vehicle will do. People forget how much CO2 is emitted just making a new BEV

Mass transit where I live is next to non existent.

BART in the bay area is great until you need to leave the station
