In 100 years, most likely only crazy hipsters will know what a bicycle is because everything will be electrified. E-Scooters will eradicate bicycles for most uses in the next 10 years or so.

That seems completely non-obvious to me. For starters, will Bird et al even continue to exist for 10 years? And even if they do, why would they replace un-electrified bicycles, which have a number of advantages?
