            I don’t understand why it needs to be electric bikes vs electric cars when it should be electric vehicles vs non-renewable fuels. Electric bikes have the same problems as electric cars, just on a slightly smaller scale. The rubber in their tires causes microplastics, they’re fueled by electricity which may come from non-clean sources. They have more down sides, like not as many people can use them at once, you’re not gonna see people in rural areas adopting them - or most places in the US - because of the distance required to get to a store or whatever.

            I think infighting here is stupid.
