I think batteries have revolutionized the bicycle industry.
Walking is about 3mph, even a slow EV bike ride is 10-12mph.
Bike paths for suburban transportation are now a realistic option in/when warm climes.
Well, “we are waiting”.

10-12 try 30+ mph the kids down the road have E bikes that hit 45 with the limiter turned off. They are essentially electric motorcycles that happen to have pedals for show and legal reasons I have never seen the kids pedal them they zip by at speeds no one could possibly pedal continuously that’s not the point it’s to make them legal for under 16 year olds with out M endorsements. Sure they are supposed to be limited to 25mph but it takes 3 minutes to hack the ECU and nope nope nope that nonsense. I asked how far they run for an hour at 30 mph so 30 ish miles that’s tons of freedom for a13-15yo. Growing up we all had YZ80 Yamaha by 13 ish those went 70+ mph no one blinked at letting the boys run rampant all day on them. Be home for supper was the command.
