Pundits and prognosticators have given us predictions about AI, self-driving cars, and other developments, while ignoring the transformation happening with electric bikes. They are nifty, way cheaper than cars, and can easily get you to most of your destinations.
I love the idea of being able to commute with an e-bike. To drive down the embodied carbon involved in transport, I only wish I lived in a place where they tried to make transportation work for bikes. Out here in the sticks, everything is spread out and designed to require cars, or I guess the assumption is that cars will be available without question to zip us around.
I don't really see the point of differentiating between e-bikes and simply bikes. Bikes are great, and they have limits like all things. In temperate climates especially they are very useful.

Looking forward to getting my first e-bike!
