Cyclists now outnumber motorists in City of London
Somewhat unrelated to the article, but I live in a mid-size EU city and dumped my car for an e-bike a few months ago.<p>Surprisingly, it hasn&#x27;t been that hard (my GF kept her car, and I have a car-sharing subscription):<p>Pros:<p>- Immediately stopped having insomnia. Better feel overall;<p>- about €300&#x2F;month in additional disposable income. That&#x27;s basically a free lunch everyday!<p>- significantly faster if parking is taken into account for most trips. The bike is faster for any &lt; 10 km &#x2F; 7 mi trip;<p>- do not have to worry about car maintenance, parking tickets or theft;<p>- you will not kill someone if you ride after a night drinking;<p>- amazing when the weather is great;<p>- (almost) no emission.<p>Cons:<p>- might be impossible depending on work or children;<p>- weather might make the ride unpleasant;<p>- somewhat dangerous when the infrastructure is lacking.<p>I&#x27;m pretty sure I&#x27;ll never own a car, unless absolutely required by work. Improving the infra and the car-sharing network would be awesome.
