So this implies that there are less people driving cars or using public transport. Unless you think all these people were previously riding ordinary bikes.

In the cities I often visit (Manchester and London UK) I notice that the bike lanes are now full of e-bikes, which probably irritates the purist cycling crowd, but there are less cars on the road, especially with the London congestion charges.

I also visited Cambridge recently and I was amazed at how many cyclists there were (mostly students I think). Quite a few of them were using e-bikes, but mostly still ordinary bikes. When I was at Uni in the late 80s, there were hardly any student cyclists and there were no cycle lanes.
