And, worse, lawmakers are usually abysmal at predicting technological innovation and, more importantly, how that innovation is going to affect society. An event related to this seems to be unfolding here in Bogota in real-time. Because the country wanted to be prepared, laws were put in place […]

Over the last three years, I’ve done a lot of e-bike reviews. While some of them have been really cool townie and street bikes, most of them have followed a very popular formula: a mountain bike with front suspension, loads of battery capacity, and 4″ tires.
