Electric bikes in China
A few days back i wrote about electric bikes. I was going to mention their popularity overseas, but i only had the shop guy's word for that. Now, a Time Magazine article reports how electric bikes are 4 times more popular than cars, in China. Partially it's because of the lower cost, but also the convenience, safety and environmental benefits.
