During the last election, we have heard a lot of promises, but as we all know, commitment made during campaigns are often only persuasive manipulation aiming to attract the people to the poll so that they can vote for certain candidate. A push toward a more energy efficient country is one of those ideas.
A campaign for the popularization of Electric Bicycle can be a small but meaningful step toward a more energy efficient country. Canada has proved this year to be very serious about their energy efficiency program as the government and other sectors of the population are embracing the emergency of this new trend of bicycle. Canada is following their European counterpart; the United Kingdom, by promoting, encouraging and facilitating the use of electric bicycle on the streets.
We, in the US seem to be very slow at embracing this new technology, we rely too much on car for our daily chores even though it is not necessary to use them. I do not see any actions from the government at making people more aware of the economical and environmental advantages of electric bicycles, in this matter we are way behind the other countries.
