    As ridiculous as this is, especially with the dumbass assumptions, it would actually be kind of a fun interesting calculation. Not that it has any environmental merit, because what about people who drive to the gym, or me who takes the tram to the pool to swim laps there, etc, but just sorta fun.

      E-bikes sit in a weird spot where the amount of human effort saved is substantially higher than the carbon footprint of the components.

      Which implies the optimal transportation mix would be electric trains+trams with e-bikes to go the last few miles.
