In the Netherlands people are riding their bike every day. In Australia that's different. Cycling can be a lot harder here because of the landscape, and the roads are often not designed for bikes. Melbourne and Perth are bike friendly cities. With Marcel van der Sluis, an avid cyclist and bicycle seller in Perth, we discuss the rise of the electric bike, and the differences between the Netherlands and a city like Perth, when it comes to the love for bicycles.
