A $500 subsidy on electric bicycles would not get Americans out of their cars and onto a bicycle, but it might make cyclists move to electric bikes, which wouldn't be a behavioral change that would impact anything relevant to this study.

why would you think that? I think you're wrong and price is a big factor. cyclists are unlikely to move to ebike because they can already make it work on a regular bike.
