I cycled a bit in Europe earlier this year, in a place with amazing cycle paths - signposted, maintained, safe and mostly separate from traffic. Do you know who cycles there? EVERYONE. Like, every demographic of person who exists in that area, you will see represented on a bike. I saw people in their eighties on ebikes popping to the shops. A dad on an ebike with 3 kids (one in front seat, one in trailer, one rollerblading holding on to the trailer). It's like another planet. A good planet.
