Ebikes, bicycles, scooters, skateboards, longboards, eboards, motorcycles, skates, unicycles: Whatever floats your goat, this is all things micromobility!
"Transportation using lightweight vehicles such as bicycles or scooters, especially electric ones that may be borrowed as part of a self-service rental program in which people rent vehicles for short-term use within a town or city.
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 would have a signficantly shorter lifespan when I get run down by a ford
Apparently bike commuters still come out ahead, judging by the wording.
I read another study that said even downhill MTB riders still come out ahead on average, despite the much higher risk of injuries, so it seems likely that commuters are still better off too.
What happens when you get ran over by a Toyota instead?
Think of it as a conditional probability time stream on an actuary table:
• Every day that you don't get killed by a Ford f-450, your lifespan increases by a few minutes
• This is like putting pennies into the penny jar
• Eventually the penny jar gets full and then you are killed by a Ford f-450, thus spilling all of the contents (and your contents), onto the road.
• Thus, the energetic principle of conservation of entropy is preserved, with positive entropy.
Excuses, bring AR while cycling. /s
You joke, but I bet a visibly armed cyclist get messed with a lot less. I usually just opt for a camera though, being visibly armed can get you targeted by people who either want a gun or already have one and are about to do something terrible.
You clearly just need a more heavily armoured bike. You should start running down the fords!
Reactive armor: If they're going to take you out, they're gonna go too!
