PeteWow. Zwift buys Rouvy. Well played Rouvy!
bikejournoToday's office #job in #Zuerich: proof reading the next issue of the print magazine I work for. #bikebiz #media
One remark on #artificialintelligence: Yesterday we played around with several #AI imaging tools, asking for an image with a crystal ball, a fortune teller and an #ebike.
When changing the term e-bike for #pedelec, things got really interesting and wild.
I do not think that AI has the faintest idea of what a pedelec is. Comedy gold, go try it yourself...
Images below are from a different tool - I'd prefer an old female fortune teller with a wart on her nose, really... #bikebiz #media

On my way to a business meeting with a big player in #Switzerland's #bikebiz - the distributor of Shimano. Tight connecting, but worked out. #work
Spent the entire last week in #Frankfurt aka Mainhattan where I worked as the senior editor of the English-language #Eurobike Show Daily b2b magazines.
It was great to meet up again with so many fine people from the #bikebiz, and there certainly were some interesting new products as well.
That poster display was a lucky find: Planet Earth on fire and the bicycle as one tiny step to keep it from happening by offering a mode of #transport with a tiny #ecofootprint. #work

Plenty of folks from the #bikebiz waiting for a podium discussion regarding the state of the Swiss #economy.

CPSC 'urges' e-bike importers and manufacturers to comply with UL standards
WASHINGTON (BRAIN) — The Consumer Product Safety Commission urged manufacturers and importers of e-bikes and other micromobility devices to comply with relevant safety standards, including UL's 2849 standard. The CPSC said it sent the letter (attached) to more than 2,000 manufacturers and importers on Monday.
But please do me one giant favor and do not call this «the Tesla of e-Bikes».
It has nothing to do with that cranky car salesman who likes to embarrass his poor son for the rest of the kid's life with an utterly silly name.
But it has a lot of what I want to see as a nice in e-bikes that have become more and more bulky, ugly and heavy in recent years, offering crazy battery capacity that comes with added weight.
As I said: Less is more, more often than you'd think.
