Hi all I wanted to share a short story from a cityslick that’s been riding different 2 wheelers for all my life. What you probably experienced in your life as well once you turn 18 is the social peer pressure of getting a car. Like at every birthday party: “So when are you going for your car licence?” and I always kind of shrugged that off as something later as I was enjoying street cycling and mtb’s. Then personal life and work kept me occupied and time went by fast and came to the conclusion having to haul a car around in the dense urban metro districts is kind of stupid. In rush hour every road is clogged with dusty fossil engines in stationary. And the drivers all look bummed out.

Anyway enjoy your favourite microtransport the future has just begun. E-bikes ftw!

P.S. who needs a 200mph engine when city limits are heavily enforced? No shame in a speed limiter.

      Oof, I even didn’t know they made those. At first I read this as “sticky handle”. How were they supposed to work exactly? They emit a smell when it gets past a certain temperature?
