People won't switch from driving to cycling over this. They'll just pick one of the several dozen other car manufacturers.

I suspect most BMW owners won't care too much. Like they'll find it annoying but still buy/lease the car anyway.

What if the cycling option is a really REALLY good bike?

[–] wreckedcarzz@lemmy.world 3 points 3 weeks ago

If the bike does the biking completely for me, has hvac, reclining seats, can do 65mph down the highway and can take care of my morning wood taking into account remaining travel time, I'd be interested. That indeed would be a really good bike.
