New research shows that e-bikes reduce car usage by 19%, significantly reduce car trips of less than three miles and enhance autonomy for seniors and the elderly.
Cities need to be doing more to help people shift trips from cars to (e-)bikes, including e-bike incentive programs.
By normalizing the status quo, the press impedes the transport transformation we require. In a new article, @cglachant and @FraukeBehrendt show how media coverage of micromobility tends to frame the mobility status quo as normal, thereby marginalizing newer micromobility modes.
Excited to have this article on media framings of micromobility in the NL and the UK published at #Mobilities, with @FraukeBehrendt. Available in Open Access here: https://t.co/18ThCDxzC4. Read and share!

"Tire pollution is such a nascent research field that we are only starting to understand its impact on wildlife and human health. Worryingly, such dangers could rise if consumers shift toward heavier, overpowered electric vehicles"
