    I do get your point. And, I love my bike. I’ve ridden EVERY street in my town. Every.

    But, reality is reality. Ib remember a Brisbane summer that was so humid I decided to get to work REALLY early, so I could beat the heat. 7:30am walking from the bus stop to the office. About 1km walk. By the time I got there my shirt was stuck to me.

    Now, that’s a hot year, and it’s not always that bad, but it shows how serious the heat can be there.

    eBikes are a godsend for that kind of heat. But, they’re not cheap. People are financially stressed, and already have cars.

    It’s a hard sell.
