I was kidding but even if everyone buys electric cargo bike (which are not cheap) to carry water, milk and other heavy items 40km round trip will be ~2h, you won’t be able to take kids with you or simply stop on your way from work. It’s doable but it will be painful for a lot of people.

Ok, just keep taking the shitty bus then if you find that so much easier than riding a bike.
I know it’s a stereotype that Americans are incredibly lazy but you are not exactly doing anything to suggest otherwise.
I don’t live in US and I do take my bike to work. I simply realize not everyone is in the same situation as I am. It’s called empathy.
They’re banning ebikes for young people and imposing onerous licencing, regrestration, and insurance requirements
