    I just came back from Austria. The amount of cyclists there left me really astonished.

    And this in a part of the country that basically purely consists of steep inclines.

    Needless to say that nearly a 100% of the bike traffic consisted of e-bikes.

      I wish Canada had the cycling tolerance and infrastructure of European countries. I’ll never again ride on the road in MB, off-road only. People fucking hate you if you’re on a bike. Between the coal-rolling rednecks with their “Fuck Trudeau” stickers and the entitled pricks in their luxury SUVs, you’ve got someone actively trying to kill you every second you’re out there

      I live in a hilly place where going for grocery mean when going back home my road is mostly slow incline and i’ll have to climb one steep inclines at the end. E-bike takes away 50%-70% of the effort, it’s awesome.
