I’m cycle pilled and fully electric. I’ve got wind in my hair and bugs in my teeth. I’ve got places to be and sweat stains in my pits. I’m moisturized, unbothered, in my (protected!) bike lane, and flourishing. I can’t fully ditch my car yet for intermittent long distance commute reasons, BUT, I think I will be able to when I switch projects next year. Capitalism is a fuck, death to AmeriKKKa, may crude oil go to $1000 a gallon!
Ill write something longer later, but I need to make a distinction: micromobility is purely “last mile” travel. That is to say it is ebikes, scooters, etc. rented out for one trip or for a brief vacation of ~1 week. It does not include long term rentals.
The way our society is structured it incentivises some business practices that make public infrastructure less safe for pedestrians and cyclists - Under the assumption that it is in an area that has robust infrastructure.
