I Got Smoked By An Illegal E-bike - Does It Matter? | GCN Show Ep. 628

🎥 Find the show and watch it on YouTube: GCN Show Ep. 628

While cycling to GCN Megabase, Si was overtaken by what seemed to be an unrestricted e-bike travelling at quite a speed. This experience got him thinking—should unrestricted e-bikes be allowed on shared bike paths? Are they creating potential safety risks? 🚲⚡

In this episode of the GCN Show, Si and Dan dive into the growing debate around e-bike regulations. They explore possible solutions to manage their risks and discuss new laws being introduced globally. They further discuss how cycling in general has positive environmental impacts, and how certain countries are promoting and making cycling safer.
