Simon Brooke"We have noted before that this is the fastest ride to zero-carbon; almost anyone can ride an e-bike for six miles under almost any conditions. If there were safe places to ride and secure places to park, then millions of car trips could be avoided, and millions of cars taken off the road"
Davie Duck@simon_brooke @GatekeepKen The road infrastructure is missing for most of the world for e-bikes. I wonder ihow soon we’ll see plug-in charging spots for e-bikes in office blocks and shopping districts?
@simon_brooke @GatekeepKen I understand because it’s fun for me to be able to “coast” uphill on my e-bike. It should be similar to the law of the sea; powered vehicles should give way to pedestrians and human powered cyclists, and FFS, everyone should give way to horses.
@wackyIdeas @GatekeepKen I always feel it's courteous, when overtaking an acoustic cyclist, to switch the motor off about 100 metres before passing, and not switch it on again until 100 metres after.
@simon_brooke @GatekeepKen you’re my hero
