After visiting the Netherlands recently I noticed an interesting phenomenon. It seems the Dutch don't wear bike helmets. I learned that under 1% of cyclists use helmets. I also learned that overall injuries to cyclists are way less than any place in the world, so what gives? From what I gathered, cyclists and drivers are more experienced and courteous and the roads are engineered to keep all road users. This includes bike infrastructure throughout the country.

Why Don’t the Dutch Wear Helmets?

In this video we cover many different ways to lock up and secure your bike to protect from potential thieves. Having a shop in Brooklyn, we know that New York City has one of the highest percentages for bike theft in the country. Electric bikes are expensive so we want you to have the best possible knowledge on how to keep your bike safe.

How to Transport Kids by eBike

We were recently invited to a mobility experience hosted by Bosch at their Flat Rock proving grounds. Bosch has been at the forefront of developing advanced safety features for vehicles for a long time now and it was exciting to take a look at some of these features through a lens of broader mobility since I’ve been working on a lot of new and exciting vehicles lately with Bloom. This event was to showcase some of their newest mobility innovations. They had loads of innovations from their antilock braking on their eBikes, vehicle stability control, brake-by-wire systems, and some exciting off-road vehicle technology. In this video we’re going to be covering all this and how this technology overlaps with electric bicycles. Many technologies are initially developed for automobiles and eventually cross over into the eBike space, so it’s always interesting to predict the future of what we will be seeing in these new bikes. Partnered with Bosch eBikes Systems Timecodes: 0:00 Bosch Mobility Experience 0:18 Bloom company update 0:55 Automobile technology crossing over to eBikes 1:45 Bosch technology on automobiles 2:05 Bosch trailering technology 2:30 Bosch anywhere parking trailer technology 3:55 Testing Bosch eBike ABS 7:20 Bosch Brake By Wire 9:15 Bosch safety technology ecosystem 12:05 Bosch Modular Braking for off-road vehicles 13:55 What is the future technology for eBikes and vehicles?

The lawsuit that will stop the e-bike ban

Cargo bikes are amazing, but sometimes in bigger cities, you might not have the space to bring your bike indoors overnight. Here are some tips to keep your bike safe: 1. Invest in a High-Quality Lock: A sturdy lock is your first line of defense. Look for locks that are rated highly for security, like U-locks or chain locks. 2. Cover It Up: Use a motorcycle cover to hide your cargo bike when parked. Out of sight, out of mind! 3. Lock Smart: Always lock your bike to a solid object and ensure both the frame and wheels are secured. 4. Track Your Bike: Consider using a GPS tracker for an extra layer of security. With these tips, you can enjoy your rides worry-free! Have any other tips? Share them below! 👇💬
