OK, not strictly ebike related... just fun to watch a world where 1/3 of urban travel is by bike...




...and in the snow!

We need some bike lanes like this in Canada. Great vids Lock thanks for posting.

BTW, I saw only 2 ebikes out of all those bikes. One one a scooter style and the other a fold-able kind.

Did you notice them too?

We already do... they're just infested with cars... The vids were taken where cars are banned. Only two wheels and public transit vehicles...

While you were counting the motorized bikes, did ya also count how many helmets?

Because EU ebikes are 250W max and pedelec only ya don't see scooter-style ebikes, and there may be many ebikes in these vids where ya can't tell they have assist!

You're right! It wasn't a scooter style ebike it was a gas scooter. Which probably shouldn't be there. I wasn't playing the video with sound the first time. Too hard to count helmets, lol, But I'm guessing for every 20 people there's one helmet.

I just get such a kick out of these videos! Another from the same poster:



Interesting to watch the pedestrians and motor scooter/cyclists mixed in with the pedal bikes...Also pretty sure there are NOT a lot of disguised helmets in use...
