There's 2 types of bikers, those who are sweaty af and love it and those who are sweaty af and miserable and the latter is why people prefer cars. Me? I want a train... that i can drive OFF ROAD!
but now that ebikes and electric motorcycles exist cars should basically be banned in all downtown areas
You must live somewhere with hills.
People have the wrong kind of bikes. You either need a cheap women's bike that goes 20 km/h if you try hard and 15 km/h if you go easy (you will chill!) or an Ebike if you got the cash.
Everything else is a hobby bike.
Living in a flat city, I have the opposite philosophy: biking is more fun if you go fast without putting in any effort, and you don't need an e-bike for that: you need an excellent bike that's built reliable.
I have a 2k€ city bike that I bought like a decade ago. Configured for max reliability, it only needed absolutely minimal repairs so far. E.g. it has a belt instead of a chain which I didn't need to touch yet. It was like 200€ out of the 2k, but it not needing maintenance is so convenient.
What trains are you taking that can drive on roads? I would somehow exclude streetcars from being trains but we basically don't have any of those anymore so I'll leave the statement as it is.
Heh, heh, ahem, have you heard of a railroad
Bike slower if you get super sweaty.
What about a train bike
