I disagree: Micromobility is the answer to a lot of problems but it's definitely not the answer to all problems.

Your fatigue doesn't necessarily have to be a factor either, you can ride an ebike, scooter, emoto, motorcycle, tuktuk, tiny car, evelo, monowheel, etc. There are a huge number of different types of transportation that require little to no effort to use and are not mentally and emotionally taxing like commuting in a car is (they are, I dare say, fun instead).

I'm not saying we ignore public transport, of course that's important but micromobility can and should be part of the solution too. For many people (myself included), it already is.
