also trillions of tons of rare elements including lithium, which means we will never want for ebike batteries in the distant future

You know what has an even lower carbon impact than buying and using a bike?

walking


Oh but walking is too slow, what if you gotta get there faster?

then my friend, is running

e-bikes suck in the EU if you're a reasonably fit non-senile adult, cos the pedal assist cuts off at 25 km/h and then you're left with an unncecessarily poo poo bike, while for decent e-bike money you can just buy a good bike that's easy to pedal up to 30+ km/h

they are much better than other personal transport for weak babies and old people though, or maybe if you work up a mountain
cargo e-bikes are pretty cool if you have to haul tons of poo poo around for some reason

Running is good for your knees, and your whole body in fact.

Funny how I never hear a runner complaining about bad knees, only out-of-shape fatsos

tbf watching everyone repeat the cycle of "I just got into running" > "Im going on all these long-distance runs it's great!" > "something started hurting but Im just doing 3 runs a day for right now while I recover" to "oh my foot bones are fractured and my knees disintegrated" is equal parts tragedy and comedy.

walking rules though

Speed walking is clearly the ideal, perfect movement in terms of balancing joint stress and speed. We reject the mall walkers at our peril

that's....that's not from running

the boomer sedentary lifestyle is why they have poo poo knees and cars facilitate this even more

it could be because most everyone is running on earthquake-proof pavement made for cars. In the bike industry we get a lot of running retirees who are absolutely not sedentary people

have you considered that asphalt and gravel are manmade and designed for cars only

they want to destroy your knees and not feel simple joy of the tickle of a grass blade as your running legs sweep through them on god's green earth, allowing nature's shock absorbers to do the work for you
