You’re absolutely right and it is a massive amount of coordination and investment required to make even modest improvements to cycling infrastructure and public safety. Things like this are great for riders who want to take extra steps to protect themselves and be at the forefront of cycling innovation. I wouldn’t be surprised if we started seeing airbag technology on e-bike frames soon too. I’m sure comfort was a big consideration in its design too :-)

Hehehe, not peevish at all! 😅 I think it's a fair point, and both things make sense at the same time. Airbags on e-bikes? Interesting... I bet Bosch will be involved in that space somehow. At least here in Europe, they seem to be the biggest players pushing ebike technology forward. I listened to a podcast (in Spanish) last week with their EU Marketing Manager, who also handles communications around digital features, and wow… the things they have in the pipeline for e-bikes! 🤯 And also they are working I wonder if they have the same presence in the US. I also learned about some of Bosch's work around urban mobility, air-quality sensors and helping cities make better decisions about traffic and cycling infrastructure. And apparently, the head of Bosch eBike Systems is a proper bike nerd too. This is some research for you 😉😅 This guy
