By using an electric bike rather than a car you are also helping the environment. A person who smokes cigarettes can not smell stale smoke as well as someone who does not smoke. So comparing that with exhaust fumes we can assume that anyone driving in a built up area does not notice the fumes from the other cars but they are there. Next time you take a walk in the countryside where cars are few and far between and a car does come past you will notice the exhaust fumes from just that ONE car. Imagine what you breathe in in the city where there are thousands and thousands of cars. THINK ABOUT IT and then DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT! Save in your pocket and save the planet at the same time.
