280 million e-bikes are slashing oil demand far more than electric vehicles E-bikes and scooters displace 4x as much demand for oil as all of the EVs in the world.

And they're several times less expensive. Make it an e-cargo bike and they're just as useful.

Biking or walking with your child to school is a gift no parent should deny themselves. Find a way to make it work and you will build a relationship worth the effort. That was my experience.

I can see both of those people and so can anyone who pays attention and stays off the phone while driving. Humans are predators with eyes that can see movement in the dark. Don’t blame people for bad road design and reckless motoring. Those are the real causes of road fatalities.

New research: Darkly-painted cars cause heat islands:
"Dark-colored vehicles made the air around them 3.8Β°C hotter compared to the nearby asphalt road."

(Darker cars are also more likely to be in crashes. www.researchgate.net/publication/...)

Wouldn’t we all miss that moment of suspense when you throw a lit match into a propane bbq with a clapped out lighter mechanism and wonder if this is the meal where you lose your eyebrows?

The media sourced avid cyclists are inevitably motorists with a cycling hobby.

Truthful reporting on motoring impacts would drive the key funding source of media (car advertisers) away.
