The number of people out on bicycles this weekend in Chicago makes me think that this city could *eclipse* London or Paris on bike usage if it invested in safe infrastructure. The reason why? Americans are rich enough to already own bikes and the space to store them

Yeah it's quite depressing. The scheme for low income Chicagoans is great, but it's dumb that e-bikes cost as much as a taxi unless you sign up for a membership

Even then it's still too expensive per ride

Yeah the per minute fees are quite high, even with a membership. I worry about that less, because I still invariably pay for an e-bike even when I could use a standard one for free
