Look I definitely agree with you, never had a car and never plan on having one, and I try to promote cycling as a means of transportation as much as possible.
That being said, just replying “bicycles” is likely to rub people the wrong way. Bikes are not a 1:1 replacement for motor vehicles. There has to be investment into public transit, especially for intercity travel, as well as investments into safer cycling infrastructure.
If you want to get murdered by an SUV or pickup. There are very few places in Canada where you can safely commute by bike.
And fixing that is likely to do a lot more for the environment and people’s health than just converting from ICE to EVs and investing in more highways.
And, if anything, EV’s are more dangerous to cyclists. They’re significantly heavier and quieter.
additionally, there are very few months it isn’t goddamn miserable cold to commute by bike
Why Canadians can’t bike in the winter (but Finnish people can)
