From my experience, the electricity consumption of e-bikes is low. We have a Babboe cargo bike and we drive 5km every day. I measure the electricity consumption of the charger, and it comes down to 0.5-1kWh per month. I assume regular e-bikes have an even lower consumption.
I live in a small town in Belgium and we have a saying that says: “there’s no bad weather, only bad clothing”. Granted, the weather here is mild. Doesn’t get too cold, not too hot (except for this week). We do get a lot of rain though, but nothing that a pair of rain trousers and coat can’t handle ;) Biking infrastructure is something else though… It’s far from perfect over here.
That’s a good point. The same content exists on multiple instances. I think Lemmy should set a canonical URL the HTML <head>. The canonical URL of each post should point to the instance where a post originates from.
Seems like that is not implemented in Lemmy. Also checked Mastodon, and doesn’t have a canonical tag either.
