Seeing the prevalence of e-bikes and e-scooters in North American cities doesn’t make me hopeful for western obesity. Use it or lose it, they say.

already the reality tbh

I feel like the e-bike is the first stop on your way to the motorized wheelchair.

no way.

the dutch get it.

ive got an electric cargo bike i use to get groceries, and built a platform attachment that lets me haul a bale of straw on the back. people make comments, but i dont care. its a vehicle that uses the sun as a gas station, and requires physical activity to drive. love it.

I can appreciate that. My observation is more that people out for leisure rides are using them. Who could probably benefit from some pedalling.

you haven’t lived until you haul straw on a cargo bike past a normie cowboy in a truck.

“Goddam city folk” 😂

here in Argentina CABA is worse

is these fucking things made by the Devil himself
