The site is due for an update, I've been compiling a lot more resources and bolstering some of the arguments with more data, but lately I've been spending a lot of time on these cyclist PoV videos https://twitter.com/CarsDontFitJC
To briefly touch on a few common q's I see cropping up here: - Yes, cycling infrastructure is really bad everywhere in the US (some places worse than others). That's orthogonal to most of the things that are great about e-bikes though. Better infra, and more e-bikes, are both part of fixing the US's horribly broken urban transportation landscapes. - "Rain and snow": it's just not that hard to make biking reasonable in all but the most inclement weather, and anyway, solving {traffic, parking, traffic violence, air pollution, noise pollution, emissions} on the other ≈95% of the days would be extremely good for everyone (including drivers). Making everyone wear a "$40k internal combustion parka" everywhere is not a good solution either!
I really appreciate the thoughtful feedback and discussion I have some related projects with cool software angles I am hoping to post here as well, soon™
