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.Surprisingly, it hasn't been that hard (my GF kept her car, and I have a car-sharing subscription):Pros:- Immediately stopped having insomnia. Better feel overall;- about €300/month in additional disposable income. That's basically a free lunch everyday!- significantly faster if parking is taken into account for most trips. The bike is faster for any - do not have to worry about car maintenance, parking tickets or theft;- you will not kill someone if you ride after a night drinking;- amazing when the weather is great;- (almost) no emission.Cons:- might be impossible depending on work or children;- weather might make the ride unpleasant;- somewhat dangerous when the infrastructure is lacking.I'm pretty sure I'll never own a car, unless absolutely required by work. Improving the infra and the car-sharing network would be awesome.
