Bikes and ebikes are great, but the ceiling on adoption is too low to make a dent in CO2 emissions on the scale of EVs. No large metro in the US has more than about 5% commuting share on bikes.

Now do Tokyo, Amsterdam, or London.

Bikes pair very nicely with public transit for last mile connectivity.
