Interesting insights Robert. I agree that a lot of the problem is that America is THE car culture. Changing that mindset would be difficult. I wonder how epidemiologists would see this problem--the way that they have studied how for instance obesity happens in epidemiological-social patterns, or people having a certain number of children correlates to their peer groups having that number, how moving toward e-bikes might happen in the same way. Really it's like judging fashion--how do things catch on, and why wouldn't extremely rational things like low-cost, efficient, cheap, healthy transportation catch on?
