🤯 A car-free car racing event? Sounds impossible! In the Netherlands last weekend, nearly all of the 110,000 fans attending the #Formula1 #GrandPrix arrived by bike or public transit. Cars were practically banned. Ironic to say this: but it's a masterclass in sustainable mega-event planning.

This piece has a significant factual issue running through it, from the headline to the final sentence. I want to flag it in case a correction or clarification can be made. Specifically, the vehicle described in this story IS NOT AN E-BIKE.

E-bike law is confusing and there’s no grace period. We took readers’ questions to the MVC.
New Jersey's new e-bike registration law is in effect. Cyclists and advocates said there is lot s of confusion about the law and the process to register bikes and which need insurance.

In case you have not been watching the Tour de France I am going to fil you in. The overall leader is a skinny white guy named Today Focaccia. He's 26 but looks 14. Any time anyone comes close to matching his speed, he just pedals faster.

The NJ MVC is AIMING to allow e-bike registration by JULY 1ST?! So, their HOPE is that people will be able to START registering their bikes just 12 business days before enforcement begins? This rollout is going to be a complete disaster. www.nj.com/news/2026/04...

E-bikes need to be registered, and riders licensed, in N.J. Here’s how to do it.
The state Motor Vehicle Commission is on schedule to begin registering and licensing e-bikes in July. Here's what you need to do to comply with the new law.

This is a fantastic and direct illustration of how much energy it takes to power cars. Especially considering EVs are 5x as efficient as ICE. Imagine what a "gas station" would look like if it had to produce the energy it dispenses locally.
