Electric vehicles get all the press – but it’s the smaller unsung two wheelers cutting oil demand the most.

    I hate electric bikes as they pass me on a hill as I sweat my butt off going up it, but I love this headline. More people on electric and more people on bikes please.

      If you’re sweating that much, why not just downshift? It’s slower, but it’s also easier!

        I go uphill to go downhill. Enduro is my jam. The hills I go up are in the lowest gear already, they’re just steep.

            As a youngin, I used to bike to school often. For some reason I made it a point of pride to never downshift from the highest gears front and back. Took some getting used to when you had to push it when going around tight corners very slowly. Ended up with melon cracking thighs

          The first comment makes more sense now lol, if you’re doing a big climb like that and someone zips past on an ebike, I’d be kinda peeved off too 😂
