I would love to be able to take an ebike, some solar panels, and a backpack onto a train and just travel all over the place but it just doesn't seem viable the way everything is laid out in the US.
I'm optimistic about this oil crisis finally breaking carbrain. My city's cycling infrastructure only began in response to the crises of the 1970s, and now it's a respectable network that completely changed the psychogeography and socioecology of the city's development even during the boom years for cheap oil. With a large enough shock, an ebike that costs 1/10th the price of a car and the much cheaper/easier to maintain cycling infrastructure become as common sense as the reasons I don't/can't commute by horse. We're getting this oil crisis right as ebikes are about to get their Model T moment with the development of solid state batteries.
Fingers crossed we get that outcome and not Law, Order, and Austerity™.🤞
