A recent survey shows that 57 percent of Bubi riders used the bicycles to commute to and from work, while 49 percent used them to do the shopping and 40 percent to go out for entertainment.

Ten thousand in a city of 1-1/2 million people is not all that much.
It certainly doesn’t justify the enormous cost and disruption the city and its municipalities are visiting upon us with the creation of bicycle tracks, etc. on busy streets. I cannot believe what they’ve been doing on Margit hid for several weeks now: They’re actually grinding down the sidewalk to then paint it red. Imagine the cost and the waste. Shocking.
As far as e-bikes? Yeah, their batteries (cobalt, lithium, nickel, etc.) brought to you courtesy of African children slaves. How very “green.” How very enlightened.
