Replying to @rahulatiitd @kavibhalla @JSAnjaria
In countries where pedestrians have practically no right of way, broken sidewalks serve as parking spots for cars and two-wheelers, and driving a big car means a license to bully others, riding a bicycle seems a scary proposition. Alas!

Wow. Carmakers will hate this, but I think it's great: A new California bill from @Scott_Wiener would require all new cars to contain speed governors that prevent them from going 10 mph+ over the speed limit. sfchronicle.com/bayarea/arti…

A quick poll: An electric cycle is a bicycle with a battery-powered motor that generates additional power while the rider is actively pedaling. The same bicycle can also run solely on throttle but up to a max speed (e.g., 25 km/h). Did you know this? Tell me more in the comments.
