>In urban areas, cycling is faster, and electric biking is expanding your reach a few times over.

In Cambridge, UK, where I used to live it once took me quicker to ride to the same destination than a taxi. In fact it’s well known that cycling in Cambridge’s city centre is much faster than taking a car.

Cycling is often the fastest choice in cities. This spring, Uber revealed that even walking is as fast or faster than ride-sharing in many urban centres: https://www.forbes.com/sites/carltonreid/2019/05/22/uber-dat...

I bike faster than cars easily in much of New York, and sometimes the subway as well.
