While working with students yesterday and discussing the current state of gasoline prices, we did a distance check for most of my driving requirements (home, school, work). Almost all of my driving is within 5 miles.

They then began shaming me (with good humor) into why I didn't have an e-bike for this transit. I didn't have a good response other than to make "vroom-vroom screeetch" noises like I was driving my car on a race track.

@seanwbruno you can get a similar effect with a 5kW electric scooter, ask me how i know 
@gardencourt As the students did to me, I think we need to shame more people into exactly this kind of solution.
