      I couldn’t believe how little energy I used to cycle the 35 mile round trip to work on an ebike, it’s bonkers

        That depends on the car drivers that surrounds you.

        Per mile, there are more fatalities, but in the US, something like 39/40 deaths from bicycles and 4/5 deaths from motorbikes is due to cars; presumably decreasing the number of miles driven by car would lower the number of pedestrian, bike, and motorbike fatalities they cause.

          fewer cars also means less pressure to drive at car speeds, which is dangerous on smaller vehicles where you don’t have a big metal cage around you, plus airbags and seatbelts
