    Because it’s 90F and 100% humidity? Walking to work I get sweaty so I want an electric bike not an effortful bike. I hate riding a bike but got a chance to try the e-bikes at a city event. That is like a dream of a bike, you pedal, it moves. No pushing, and no uncomfortable seat, it’s comfortable and a joy to ride.

    Bike or walk? I’d much rather walk. Electric bike, though? Electric bike is fun.

      I love biking, specifically unpowered bikes because they are light and nimble. Heat makes sense though. I was thinking more people who already have a bike or even an e-bike. Scooters need licenses and then you’re on the road, which maybe is a good thing if the bike infrastructure sucks.
