I'm all for getting more people on bikes, but having every resident on one, electric or not, does not do very much to help those who need to connect in from elsewhere in the region, nor anyone who has to cover any reasonable distance on a daily basis. If everyone who currently takes a bus (soon to be LRT hopefully) to a GO station has to take a scooter instead, I'd like to see the utopian vision for where all these e bikes will be parked.

Electric bikes, regular bikes, bike share, cars, buses, LRT, inter city rail - it all has to be supported and available so that people can use the mode(s) most appropriate for a given trip. You can't replace any one with another. The problem today is there is a HUGE chasm between support for cars, and every other mode is chasing table scraps so we are using cars for trips that absolutely should be taken by other means.
