As a person who has all their life been in the cycle trade and repaired so many bikes and seen many new innovations, the ebike option is really a game changer but along with bike improvements we need a cycle lane network.
Really hoping that the cycle lane network expands in the city and people can see the future that cars aren't the only solution as more safe space for us all is a game changer.
With ebikes, young and old and people of all fitness levels get access to a more affordable and healthier transport not just a select few. While cars are for a select licenced group and at a certain age bracket, cycling is for small kids getting to school and adults getting to work and shopping and retired people to explore greenways.
I hear this from customers who buy e-bikes and regular bikes who just come back with a smile after using their bikes.
I myself have had a new lease of life since I got my cargo bike with health benefits clearly working. I'm a type 2 diabetic and have been losing weight the past few years at a steady pace and getting improvements due to my decision to make the change to bike.
My cargo bike allows me go the extra miles and up hills where I would have struggled before, carrying all sorts of loads and shopping , passing traffic I used to sit in and just makes you happy no matter what the weather is.
Please let's move forward in a sensible fair way for our next generations be the pioneers to making cycle space for all #love your bike
