Electric vehicles get all the press – but it’s the smaller unsung two wheelers cutting oil demand the most.

      To clarify - I’m not going on the road in anything but a car

      Protected lanes or paths only for me on any form of bike/scooter

        I work remote now, but my last job was only 20mins away, but I pretty much had to use the highway. Other routes just made the trip too long, so I can’t even imagine commuting in a bike to that job.

        So you are afraid of cars so you take your own car… I fully understand that but it is all the problem.

        We have to constantly remind drivers that road are for everyone, and not only to go full speed.

        Here they painted bikes on roads and put speed limit at 30kmh so it is better, drivers seems more conscious, but we still see too much distracted people that don’t realize they can easily kill someone just by not looking constantly at the road.

          I’m a bit in the same situation. I can a lot with my bike but it’s dangerous at times, especially with my kids in the back. People need to go to places and unfortunately, everything we built for the last 70years were almost just for cars.

          There’s a need for more bike lanes and bus/tramways/métro.
