Are you a time traveler from 2010 who's never heard of e-bikes?

#13I'm not surprised to see Utrecht in the first place, but quite a bit surprised to see the other Dutch cities so low. No offense, but Rotterdam or The Heague is 100x better than Paris from safety and convenience point of view. I'm curious why is the ranking like this.

Oslo is #18 on that list, not too shabby. Kathmandu is in a valley.
