As a rider of both motorcycles and bicycles (lifetime, being a Dutchie), I think this article is a waste of space and time. I just bought an ebike last year (nothing to do with the pandemic, but with my living in hilly Brisbane now) and I think it's perfect. I wouldn't ride my non-electric here in the heat or for long distances on the hills - I ride my ebike almost everywhere, often instead of taking the car, an Uber or public transport. My motorcycle remains a favourite for really long distance weekend outings, or a commute if I need to be quick. It fills a niche (or even gap) perfectly. This guy is a rigid conservative thinker, that doesn't know what he is talking about.
