Oh really? Maybe not moving 2,5 tons of metal and battery isnt a good idea? Maybe bikes were always a better mode of transport? I have a feeling that this was pretty obvious.
The article talks about electric bikes, not normal ones. That's e-bikes, or rather what I suspect that they are peddling as a newsertainment article: e-scooters.
A problem for bicycles is the heat during climate change. Brazil got to 58.5 degrees Celsius (137 Fahrenheit).
Not sure how we survive. It's a shame that we weren't planning for the things we all knew was going to happen. Mass transport and bicycles should have been the default since we knew.
