Why Not Zoidberg? 🦑Jul 1, 2024

Hot take: if you can choose between an #ebike and a car, of course take the bike.

However if your choice is between a regular bike and an e-bike the former is much more environmentally friendly.

In short, biking become less and less environmentally friendly the more regular bikes get replaced with e-bikes and e-scooters.

@WhyNotZoidberg definitely. after being an analog bike user for all my life until i moved to LA, i am just now appreciating how much your environment dictates which tradeoff you are faced with day to day. analog bikes for analog bike cities, but in car hell LA ebikes are the medicine the city needs

@WhyNotZoidberg (i still keep both and use my bike as much as i can. it's one of those bikes of theseus whose oldest parts are at least 15 years old and i have otherwise loved very dearly)
