Such good news! The more I think about it, the more I realize cities don't need cars. (ok, maybe if you have a city like LA or Houston that is so sprawled out that anything other than cars is impractical... but even with bikes, those cities would create pockets every 5-10 miles... anyway onto my larger point) At 10mph, you can cover a lot of ground in a city, get your exercise, pay less for car insurance / upkeep / upfront cost and reduce pollution. It's a win-win-win. Add electric bikes into the mix and you are set to cover maybe 20 miles without breaking a sweat. Having lived in Holland before, it's such a treat to be able to bike anywhere. And keep in mind that Holland sucks for biking because it rains all the time (Paris might as well, still oceanic climate). Anything with 2,000+ hours of sunshine per year is in an ideal spot for bikes, but that is A LOT of cities in the world. Anyway, very much hoping that this will lead to more cities following suit.
