Seems clear that you're not alone. But I can't say that means you're not an old fogey.

I encounter people daily who could be going places on bikes, but prefer to use a car. They are sometimes shocked to find that I don't generally use a car. Everyone makes their own transportation decisions, and presumably they make the decision they think is best for their circumstances. Gets a little messier when they assume that their decisions are best for other people's circumstances.

I've looked into e-bikes for commuting, but haven't bothered getting one, yet. It does seems like getting to work not covered in sweat might be nice, but I haven't done it. I've looked into e-bikes for touring. It would be nice to select my camping gear and clothing based on what was most comfortable instead of what packs lightest. But e-bikes don't have the range I'd want for touring, and you have to make sure you can recharge them every day. More aggravation than it's worth, in my opinion, and I like being self-propelled. But I know that's really an illusion. Almost any ride of length that I've done involves some other travel as well: car, bus, plane, boat, or train. It's tempting to come up with your own definitions on who's a "real" cyclist and who's not. And I'm not above making those judgments. But why are my choices better? Just because I enjoy them more, I suppose. My friend walked the Appalachian Trail, almost crossing the country south to north. Sounds fun in theory, but in reality I feel like I'd rather be biking. My sister's family crossed the country east-to-west, and back again in a car last summer. I know that's not how I'd want to do it, but then it wasn't my vacation. I didn't pursue biking because I wanted to fit someone else's ideal of the best way to travel. I did it because I enjoy it. If someone else is doing it in a way that's different than me, I just hope they're enjoying it, too. It's only wrong if their goals were to live up to your expectations, and, frankly, that sounds kind of wrong, too.
