micromobility is seen as a potential solution to moving people more efficiently around cities"

It's a little sad that we need to actually say this, but:
Don't be an asshole or you will be permanently banned.
Respectful debate is totally OK, criticizing a product is fine, but being verbally abusive will not be tolerated.
Focus on discussing the idea, not attacking the person.

I wish I could but it's a bit too far for me. It would take 1 and a half hours (29 km)
Get an ebike! My commute is 24mi (28.6km) each way and it takes me about 1hr 15mins. With some bone conducting headphones and a podcast it's really enjoyable.
I used to commute a little shy of that as a teenager but I would agree with @[email protected] on the ebike: That would make it totally doable timewise. The other part is being able to do it safely though.
I can do it safely. I d6ont live in the USA.
Ebikes are pretty expensive though. And it still takes longer to bike than to take the train, bus and walk.
Access to good public transit is pretty great. If you still wanted to ride a bit, you could look into a folding bike: Brompton, Tern, and Dahon all make good ones. The Packalope is also pretty amazing I've heard (if you're rich, same for Brompton). Alternately, maybe some kind of board or scooter?
