I’m in the same boat of taking jobs I can safely bike to and only considering moves to cities I can’t afford with better bike infrastructure. Once I saw what micromobility represented as a liberatory technology, my ebike became the thing that defines me living in the 21st century. That bike infrastructure is collapse insurance and the literal road to degrowth that rehumanises people toward our value system. I can’t think of another individual consumer technology that acts as a reeducation camp for American brainworms.
