The only cycling I do is my commute, it’s ten miles each way on hilly roads. I’m not 21 anymore and I absolutely wouldn’t be cycling it without an ebike. This saves 100 miles of driving every week.

Yh, it’s worse than a regular bike but you shouldn’t let good be the enemy of perfect.

I’m not saying e-bikes are bad. Just clarifying that they’re not a zero impact bike v. a pedal bicycle.

Nothing is zero impact tho

That pedal bike had to be manufactured and shipped.

You switch tires too…

Zero waste is walking only haha

Uh huh… and the rubber recycle options have a higher rate than batteries.

E-bikes are still the loser.
