From the Oh The Urbanity! channel on peertube/YT
The conclusion at around 6:50 is quite interesting too
Paraphrasing:
Even if interviewees and data from Ipsos report "Cycling Across the World 2022" (PDF!) says there is no correlation between cycling for transportation and exercise/competition/recreation, if you have access to a bike and feel comfortable to use it (aka there is a decent infrastructure), you are more likely to get involved in those activities
Bike friendly countries just made it normal to ride a bike, even if people might not think much of it as they are just used to do it

Ebikes, bicycles, scooters, skateboards, longboards, eboards, motorcycles, skates, unicycles, heelies, or an office chair: Whatever floats your goat, this is all things micromobility!
"Transportation using lightweight vehicles such as bicycles or scooters, especially electric ones that may be borrowed as part of a self-service rental program in which people rent vehicles for short-term use within a town or city.
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.
