We are paying a fortune to go nowhere
"In 2021, more than half of all daily trips in the U.S. were under three miles. Nearly 30% were less than one mile."
"Cars are parked roughly 95% of the time, depreciating as they collect pollen and bird droppings."
"In 2022, more than 1.1 million e-bikes were sold in the U.S., nearly quadruple the number from 2019."

I have a dream ....
What if you spent less on movement and more on meaning?
What if streets worked as well for bikes as they do for cars?
What if getting around town felt like a lifestyle upgrade?
And as infrastructure improves with more protected lanes, slower streets, and secure parking, the e-bike can graduate from practical to preferable.
