I'm don't do very much bicycling, but I much prefer breathing next to EVs than ICE vehicles. Being forced to breath someone's stinky exhaust when you're breathing heavy from physical exertion sucks.

Breathing in Micro-rubber/micro-plastics from disintegrating car tires isn’t fixed at all by electrification.

I can also hear ICE cars approach from behind when I’m cycling, but that isn’t the case with electric vehicles (which might be using “autopilot” and can’t see me on the road). I’m not sure if that whirring sound is present outside of low speeds, but I certainly can’t hear it with wind crossing my ears. Sometimes tire noise is audible, but not always.

On the other hand, ICE drivers are more likely to intentionally try to hit me soooo

but even if you deleted all the cars, you'd still have small trucks, busses, fire trucks, etc.

perhaps instead of saying no to car rolling things, come up with superior ways to roll things?

cycles leave the same residue, their wheels are simply smaller.

If transportation is necessary, find ways to mitigate emissions as best as possible. If emissions are unavoidable, use the thing with least emissions (small-tired lightweight vehicles) until you research a solution to a tire material that isn’t harmful (which is being worked on I think). Busses mitigate a dozen or two cars. Local rail mitigates a few busses and a few hundred cars. Essentially, personal vehicles should be small and lightweight, and essential mass transit or city services should be large enough to serve an entire area.
