EVs always feel silly when I ride my ebike next to them. They're the least-offensive kind of car, but that's so much metal/infrastructure/space going into doing the same thing my bike does. All of that is hostile to the environment in so many more ways than just fuel consumption.
Yup, I have colleagues who live closer to the office than me who take 50% longer to get in because they're competing with a train and a commuter scooter.
Literally paying for a vacation with the cash it saved me, and I've managed to read a dozen books and play tons of retro games. I love cars and car culture, but fuck me it's so dumb to use a car when there's other options. Like using a sledgehammer to crack a walnut.
