In the last 6 days the NY Times has run 4 articles about e-bikes -- all of them negative.
A few other stories the paper might consider:
🔹 E-bikes pollute far less than even electric cars
🔹 Compared to autos, e-bikes pose minimal risk to other people
🔹 Unlike cars, e-bikes provide exercise

We have destroyed our cities in order to enable the entitlement of everybody owning a personal car, and have pushed everybody else out. EVs solve none of these problems, they only help with pollution, which they don't do well (ala point 1).
