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.

Those "wind turbines" are definitely helping... because energy gets magically created, right?

Ah yes because a wind generator is magic.

(It would work if the bike is stationary or in some conditions if the wind direction is right relative to the bike direction.)

But probably it loses more in drag than it gains in generation, except when the bike is stopped

Yeah I meant while in motion. Otherwise airplanes with propellers wouldn't need fuel.
