Morten Ostli, Rollersafe Oslo, Norway

City bikes, like three- or four-wheel cargo bikes, that’s a big trend. I think it’s a combination of transportation for families and also goods. It’s consumers shopping, who want to replace a car for shorter rides, and also businesses. The trend in Norway, at least in Oslo, is to lock cars out of the city center, so basically you need a bike with more capacity.

More trouble are the small e-scooters. We have them in most of the cities. They are taking up too much space and they are destroying the city center. They’re convenient, but there are too many of them, so they need to be more regulated. [Officials] have started to pick some that can be allowed to be in the city and some that are not allowed, so they’re more regulated now.

Miguel Martinho, Polisport Porto, Portugal

Bikes are just for tourism, not for daily use. It’s very new in our city to use a bicycle for work. The city is not so friendly to bicycles, because we have many hills, and it’s difficult. Now, with electric bicycles, they can be used, but it’s too soon to say.

I hope soon we can use more bicycles, but our city is not prepared for them. It’s very dangerous, because the streets are small. It’s not like Germany where we can solve that with car lanes and bicycle lanes. I know that in some places they tried to put in bicycle lanes, but the city is not prepared for that.

Pavel Gajer, Author Prague, Czech Republic

Prague is a very old city — it’s built to medieval proportions. We have very small streets, so it’s difficult to move around on a bike. We have some cycling paths, but they’re not as nice as in some cities in Europe. It’s still not common for people to go to work on a bike in Prague because there’s not enough space, and it’s very dangerous. It’s very difficult to change anything in an old city. I don’t think we have the ability to change the infrastructure.

There are a lot of problems, because we have small streets and it’s prohibited to use electric scooters on the pavement [sidewalk], because it’s dangerous for pedestrians, yet it’s very dangerous on the other hand for people to use scooters on regular roads.

A lot of cars have come into the city in recent years. I think that’s very unfortunate. In the past, we had a lot of Segways, but they’re prohibited now.

Lisi Hager, Bikeboard.at Vienna, Austria

There are big [e-scooter] rental companies, so tourists go around with them. The problem is that they don’t know the legal stuff surrounding e-scooters, because they’re not allowed on the pavement [sidewalk]. They should go on the road, which is very dangerous. Still, it’s a nice way to move around.

Emanuele Maggi, Hillraser.com Vicenza, Italy

Oh my God, in Italy we have a terrible situation. It’s very hard to move by bicycle around the city. If you work outside downtown, it’s impossible to move by cycle. The car is the only way to go from home to the office, and from the office to home.

Politicians, you know, don’t use bicycles. They have no idea how to design a cycle lane — no idea.

Campagnolo is in Vicenza, so we have a lot of framemakers. They use bicycles only on the weekend to train, not for daily mobility. ■ BS Friday, September 6, 2019 LIVE FROM THE SHOW 5 EUROBIKE 2019 SHOW INFORMATION / EVENT CALENDAR
