… Fucking obviously duh, yes, if abled bodied people generally got around via actually safe, seperated bike lanes, or busses, or light rail, or trolleys, or trains, then of course this would generally reduce traffic and generally improve other transit options within an urban area.
But the inciting incident of this whole discussion is:
People should just bicycle tens or hundreds of miles to get to national parks far away from urban areas.
This is still an absurd suggestion, even generally, for most people of average health/fitness/ability.
Ebikes are still not even a sensible solution to this in a practical, affordability sense: Entry level motorcycles have greater ranges, speeds, more comfortable rides at the same price point as an Ebike that has roughly half the range and speed.
Nobody even legally can drive an Ebike on a highway with a minimum speed limit of 50 mph.
