    I got my ebike in winter. If I took a car I would still need winter gear once I get out. Plus, I’m supposed to schedule exercise for myself in the day anyway - doing it on a bike just means I accomplish it in transit.

        Micromobility expands options for disabled people though all sorts of devices. One of my friends is a paraplegic and rides his Bowhead all over the place (looks badass too).

        Around half of disabled people can’t drive, but everyone who can drive can use some kind of micro-mobility.

          Even some who cannot drive can still use some sort of micromobility.

          Hell, IMO, a powered wheelchair totally counts as micromobility.

        I genuinely don’t know why you’re so pissed and toxic about the idea of it. If you can’t, you can’t, no one force you to do it.
