'Bike country No 1': Dutch go electric in record numbers
E-bikes now outsell standard bicycles in Netherlands, with quality
prized more than price. https://www.theguardian.com/world/20...es-netherlands E-bikes are revolutionising European cities. Why is the UK not following their example? We have grown used to cars dominating city life. Having to put up with the resulting emissions, air pollution, road deaths and noise just seems the natural order of things. But, if you look to Europe, many cities have managed to loosen the tight grip cars have on them. In Amsterdam, half of all journeys are done by bike (as opposed to 2.5 per cent in London), and in Copenhagen, 41 per cent of people cycle to work or school. https://www.independent.co.uk/indepe...-a9166486.html -- Bod |
