In the U.S., the toll of the tragedy has climbed steadily for over a decade. Since 2010, we’ve seen an 87% increase in bicyclist deaths in the United States, with consecutive all-time records for the most deaths in the last two years of available data.

Anything that can go faster than 28 mph (or 20 mph with no pedaling) is a moped.

For reasons of both legal economy and improved public understanding, we prefer (the already existing term) "moped" to (the we think unnecessary) "e-moto."
Unless there is some truly compelling reason to make things more complicated (adding a completely new word, and category, for things that are not electric bicycles but need - for some reason - to be distinguished from and treated differently than mopeds) "moped" is right there and ready for duty! 🫡

Lowering the cost of housing is the most important priority but lowering the cost of transportation is a pretty close second actually.
The 2nd best strategy to make housing more affordable is to make it as easy as possible to build more of it.
The *best* strategy to make housing more affordable is to *combine* the above with reducing the cost of transportation for households.
(Housing and transportation are deeply synergistic.)

Idiocracy captured the idea of living in a time when genius and idiocy coexisted. But it was only a temporary coexistence.
