Care to elaborate?

I ride an ebike to work and to the grocery store when I feel like it and I think it's great.

I got a ride1up Turris. It tops out at 28 mph, which feels like a good pace on a bicycle. When the weather is nice, I use it to commute about 15 miles round trip to work, which requires about 0.4 kWh of electricity and a little over 20 minutes each way. This is compared to about 0.7 gallons of gas and about 15 minutes each way in my 20 year old truck.

So, if I charge the battery half at home and half at work, I pay about 10 cents a day for energy for the bike vs about $3 a day for the truck.

I hope lots of people start commuting on ebikes, given their decreasing cost. it would be a great way to reduce our carbon footprint and get a little exercise. It's just the right amount of exertion where I feel like I get my blood flowing but don't get to work all sweaty and gross.

If you want to ban abortion but not make contraception free, just admit that you are a fan of human suffering.

Don't most brick and mortar stores also have websites that deliver? Just think of what store might sell what you're lookng for and buy it from them or at least compare prices.

Most scientists are working with the hope of making a dent in what we don't know. There's no shortage of "we don't know."

I'm trying to sum up the vibe here but I'm having a hard time thinking of the right word.
