@spillanemike
Though in Ireland the weather is sometimes real challenging.
And as a car-country it is really unsafe to travel by bicycle.
See the figures of roadkills 🥶

Back in germany I used to travel by public transport and a kickboard for the last few kilometres.
That has worked out quiet well.

@spillanemike This probably has something to do with why we here in the US are noticing more "e-bike panic" motivating laws to make e-bikes harder to use. Yes, they are more dangerous than not-e-bikes. Whoopie. Anything 90% safer than driving a car, should be fine.

@spillanemike I wish all of those bikes belonged to a single family. But it's definitely a good sign.

@spillanemike plus, they take up much less space than cars!

@spillanemike true only for cities, for rural areas car is a must.
