About a month ago I returned from a long vacation in Amsterdam, the Netherlands and what I loved the most was the excellent transportation system of trams and subways and of course the dutch bikes! Most bikes were the traditional petal powered but I did occasionally see an electric bike. When I taught English in Japan almost over ten years ago, there weren’t any electric bikes to be seen but now they are all the rage in Japan. Sanyo Electric Co. Ltd is on the right eco path their recent announcement that they will introduce a solar bicycle parking lot in southern Japan at the Tokushima Prefectural Government office along with three of Sanyo’s electric hybrid bikes ‘eneloop’ bikes in March 2009. Well bravo to Sanyo and I hope the lot and bikes head to sunny California soon.
