There are more people alive today that believe in mythological deities, or that the earth is flat than at any other point in human history.

In absolute terms? Maybe. There’s more people alive today than there ever have been.

In relative terms, i.e. fraction of believers to non-believers? There is no way in Hera’s great grassy brassiere I’m believing that without sauce.

    Electric bikes should in theory be much, much faster. Energy density is a problem, tho. Can’t fit much battery in a small frame, so you sacrifice power for range.

    Find me a 200hp electric bike that will do 400km on a charge and I’ll be the first in line.
