Last night's BBC #Panorama was the latest in a long road of poor examples of the press 'educating' the public about electric bikes, conflating them with e-motorbikes. This, shops tell me, is driving real economic harm & job losses. My deconstruction here:

Deconstructed: The BBC's Panorama e-bike segment and its many flaws
BBC Panorama has published a segment that is unduly critical and often flatly incorrect about the e-bike. Cycling Electric responds.

Sunday was a historic day for Greater Manchester as we completed taking buses back into local, public control.
It was a pleasure to do a shift with support staff helping customers.
One thing everyone LOVED was the new £2 hopper fare - use it on as many buses as you like in 60 mins!

We’re continuing to invest in making streets safer with more:
🚲Bike lanes
🚦New crossings & safer junctions

Very important line here from Transport Secretary Louise Haigh on road safety:
"We treat road safety in a way as if it is somehow a natural accident. If the number of people being killed or seriously injured on our roads, were being killed in any other way, we'd be treating it as a pandemic."
