2x observations on #CISG2022:
(1) Only RCTs or cohort studies incl in review of long-term effects, so no #CTE studies
BUT, there are no RCTs of efficacy of parachutes in reducing mortality from jumping out of planes. Would #CISG say use is not supported?

Analysts project that between 2020-2023 alone, 130 million e-bikes could be sold worldwide, suggesting that e-bikes — not cars — are the world’s best-selling electric vehicle. In fact, In Europe, e-bikes are projected to outsell ALL cars by 2025. V/@TechHQ techhq.com/2022/04/why-e-bik…
