Some worry that New York City’s crackdown on unsafe cyclists leaves them facing greater consequences than drivers, even though cars cause more fatalities.

    We need to fight back again oppression of bike riders. Electric bikes are genuine revolution in transportation, more so than electric cars even.

        This is exactly what’s happening in Western Europe, from Sweden to small islands in Italy, from Paris to the country side in Brittany, habits are changing. It’s slower than I’d hope for but bike lanes are being setup, electric batteries are charged from solar panels on roofs, elderly get autonomy again. There is no need to imagine, we’re doing it! :D

        And the Gym industry, and the Healthcare industry, and the Tow Truck industry…

        So many losses.

          Why the gym? I don’t really go to the gym for cardio, I go for weights and other equipment that I don’t have in my house. I’d assume a majority aren’t there just for cardio, though maybe I’m wrong.

            I don’t go to the gym, because I stay reasonably fit commuting by bike. Not everyone wants to gain a super muscled frame.
