RE: Carbon emission comparison (Electric Bike vs Peugeot 107): Is an electric bike worth it?
A motor vehicle is the only mode of transport to use where we live, (you still need eyes open for hijacking all the time), would never dream of cycling to work and back.
C02 released into the atmosphere in both cases may be minimal, I would still go for ease of comfort moving young children around in a proper car.
Car pool sharing is popular rather than people traveling alone, reducing C02 foot print.
Yes... for areas like yours, I think the bike is not really that appropriate! Car pooling is a good alternative, after all there is no point having empty seats if you don't need to... plus, it reduces on traffic in the cities!
I took people to work all the years I worked in town, car pooling made sense. Government and Insurance thought they would get clever trying to implement new law saying you now a taxi service and required insurance cover etc., no one adhered any which way to make money!
