[email protected] - just need to have infrastructure and enforcement that makes it safe to do stuff like ride a bike or scooter.
I am not sure micro mobility is the sustainable answer to this problem, though I will admit that I tend to focus on macro mobility, like busses and trains.
Micro mobility is fine is you are interested in it, but it has a too narrow appeal to be any realistic solution.
It also has one of the same problem as a car, the need to drive it.
Meaning you allways have to budget your own fatigue just as you would a car.
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.
Oh yeah, that makes sense,
