Bamboo bikes, E-bikes and the Urban Bike Ecosystem

Bicycles are means of transport that can mitigate climate change, removing cyclists from motor transport which largely uses fossil fuels. Further mitigation can be achieved when parts of bicycles use environment-friendly materials like bamboo, replacing metals that need to be mined. However, bamboo growing should likewise be ecologically sustainable. To incentivize cycling, we need an efficient bike lane system that ensures safety for cyclists. Further, e-bikes which lessen pollution in the metropolis should be supported by charging stations that are powered by renewable energy.
