Electric cargo bikes deliver about 60% faster than vans in city centers, according to a study. It found that bikes had a higher average speed and dropped off 10 parcels an hour, compared with six for vans.
The bikes also cut carbon emissions by 90% compared with diesel vans, and by a third compared with electric vans, the report said. Air pollution, which is still at illegal levels in many urban areas, was also significantly reduced.

The electric bike for urban riders. Tidy but with a thick seat tube: The cowboy e-bike carries its battery in an unusual place. It is currently sold in only one frame size, which should be suitable for drivers from 1.70 to 1.95 meters in size. And only one livery is there. “You can choose the color as long as you choose black,” says cowboy co-founder Adrien Roose, following a famous quote from Henry Ford whose famous model T was also black in color.

Ensenada is one of the most popular places off the coast of Baja California for tourism, but not known for mountain biking.

Because riders are often far from civilization, there is a strong ethic of self-reliance in the sport. Riders learn to repair broken bikes and flat tires to avoid being stranded. Many riders carry a backpack, including water, food, tools for trailside repairs, and a first aid kit in case of injury.

This sport requires endurance, core strength and balance, bike handling skills, and self-reliance. Advanced riders pursue both steep technical descents and high incline climbs.
Mountain bikers ride on off-road trails such as singletrack, back-country roads, wider bike park trails, fire roads, and some advanced trails are designed with jumps, berms, and drop-off to add excitement to the trail.
Mountain biking is a sport of riding bicycles off-road, often over rough terrain, using specially designed mountain bikes. Mountain bikes share similarities with other bikes but incorporate features designed to enhance durability and performance in rough terrain. Mountain biking can generally be broken down into multiple categories: cross country, trail riding, all mountain (also referred to as "Enduro"), downhill, freeride and dirt jumping.
