Electric bikes are the most climate-friendly way to travel - Triangle Blog Blog

I was wondering how they were going to suggest unassisted bikes were less efficient, but he just pretended those don't exist I think. Though I may have missed something as the I lost interest while he explained to me what an ebike was and waffled on some more, and ended up skimming.
I know some people have asserted leg power is less energy efficient than an ebike, and frankly I don't believe it, but that's a whole other discussion. But of course they're less resource-intensive than cars, does anyone suggest otherwise?
The more I look at the article the more it's kind of annoying me. He did just over 1k miles per year? That would be a commute of under 2 miles, for instance, or about 10 minutes. As apparently a piece promoting ebikes I think it's missing the mark and implies they're useful for people who have almost no travel needs and could easily be walking.
Oh dear, I've been negative. Sorry if this rubs anyone the wrong way. But this article just strikes me as out of touch and up itself and not helpful for getting people on bikes and ebikes.
