This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

Interesting, I never knew that was an argument for ebikes, but as you say, if they never break even it's a moot point. Unless... Perhaps having the ebikes promoted more cycling over driving, then perhaps it changes it enough.

Totally agree that getting more people to choose cycling over driving should be the focus. The differences in environmental effects between ebikes and regular bikes are small, and the difference between both of them and cars is very large.
