Electric vehicles get all the press – but it’s the smaller unsung two wheelers cutting oil demand the most.

    I’d have one now, but it’s hard to ride one when I have to carry a kid with me most places.

    I got an e-bike because I needed to carry a kid (actually, two) around with me. FYI, cargo bikes are a thing:

          Swimming in a pool of razor blades is only unsafe because of all the razor blades. Aside from that, what’s the danger?

          …they might fall out?

          Yes

        Nah this is completely right though. Soon as she stops those two kids are gonna bonk heads together, the smaller one needs a bike seat at the very least, and the toddler probably needs one as well. You could still do that with a bike like this, so it doesn’t discount the point entirely, but the image itself is a pretty stupidly conceived piece of work.

        It will never not be funny to me how scared some people are of any transportation that’s not a car.

          there are so many people who have both no cognitive ability to imagine something they haven’t personally experienced or is the norm and have never gotten anywhere any other way but a car.

          it’s funny to because compared to literally anything but a motorcycle cars are hella dangerous, and the deaths from all the other modes except airplanes are from getting hit by a car
