73. It’s Electric! (Part 1)
from Timeout Radio
There are millions of e-bikes on our roads. These are bicycles with an electric motor that you can activate to help with pedaling. Susan Handy tells us about environmental policy challenges that the road to sustainable transportation faces, how e-bikes influence travel, and how city planners can get people to drive less and use more e-bikes. Then visit Amsterdam, a city built on clay and supported by 11 million wooden poles. This Dutch city is home to 1.2 million bikes, 320 miles of bicycle lanes, 165 canals, a cat shelter on a houseboat, and stroopwafels.
