    For sure on the same page overall.

    We can agree to disagree on what’s easier to afford (higher monthly vs lower daily), but I would absolutely love to see better programs to make micromobility more accessible to low-income families and individuals.

    It’s not like giving someone a car (re: cost, both ongoing and up front), so I think governments should explore this.

    And hell, while they are at it, expand on incentive programs for everyone who wants to replace their car with a bike, e-bike, e-scooter, or anything else. It’ll save taxpayers a ton of money in the long-term.
