> For the teenagers of which country, exactly?
United States, obviously. Article makes zero pretence being about anything other than that and it's stated right there in the opening paragraph: "among America’s youth".

I do cycle (normal bike). These are some of the things that I told myself that kept me from getting into it when I was younger.
Yes, that's what happens when you exercise, and judging by how fat Americans are, seems like they could use some.
>Lot of 2 lane roads without shoulders or sidewalks makes cycling on them scary.
How do ebikes fix this? It's still a bike, not a tank.
On fat Americans: at the time and still I'm likely a 99.9%er cardio wise, and I still had the concern about being sweaty. I wasn't exactly trying to smell bad during lectures.
Ob ebikes not being tanks: Going 20 in a 25 is a lot less scary then going 8 up a hill where cars are BLASTING past you. Lower effort also means you can spend more brainpower on spacial awareness, when you are gassed you tend to notice less around you.
