Before going any further, we warn you that this issue contains nothing about the London Olympics… not a single word. So we’ll take this opportunity to wish good luck to Team GB. Instead, our cover features the Moustache, a French e-bike of all things. Electric bikes have never made any real impact in France, where bicycling is largely about head- down racing.Things do seem to be changing though, and we’re told folding bikes are becoming more common in Paris these days.As for Britain, we’re rather pessimistic in this issue. Are we right or wrong? No doubt you’ll let us know.
