Ok, so she walked away.

Not really the point though, is it?

    Read the text, it points out it's an electric bike, expect better from posters on here....

    that electric bike is so similar to normal bikes you might as well show a car running a red light.

    This is the internet, you need to lower your expectations :)

    I'm assuming the video was broadcast at some point, sounds like it was used as a bit of filler in a breakfast news report, with the descriptions of cyclists and bike, when frankly the vehicle is closer to a motorbike than a bike. Just irritates me a tad as it reinforces the 'all cyclists jump red lights' mantra that lots of people use against cyclists....

    Why does that motorcyclist have an Ipad attached to his handlebars? And why is it playing a video of another Ipad?
  • Looks more like an electric motor scooter?

    My brother had one in Shanghai, before it was stolen anyway.

    Seems anything on 2-wheels is classed as a 'bicycle' to some.
