    Kudos to them and the 1900 participating retailers!

    Just to mention, this is the equivalent of just 42 electric cars, which goes to show how inefficient and wasteful electric cars really are. Yet governments around the world provide billions of dollars of subsidies and rebates for electric cars while fully ignoring electric bicycles.

      Pushing electric cars allows them to be lazier and avoid the immediate risk of annoyed motorists. They don’t need to do the work to build proper infrastructure to support bikes safely, or sell the idea to the masses.
