No ban!!
It's good to see law enforcment placed on both cars and electric bicycles to obey BASIC trafic laws.
Over the past year I've noticed improvements in the city center on driving habits of car owners and it was timely to see the E bike .
There will always be a grey zone in car lanes needing the bike lanes, this will need adaptation....
It's a huge task to educate the existing population on how to drive properly and use common sense, or it seems to be uncommon sence in this case.

Paragliding high above Tiger Leaping Gorge
Posted byKC430,
You are correct on photos....
These mountains had never been flown above their summits with a paraglider wing' let alone cross the gorge and continue to Shangrila in a narrow and marginal weather window. Many in china claimed it was impossible but i knew it's no different than any other location on this planet..
It's sad a few uneducated police officers interpret and apply china's aviation laws to paragliding . The police interpret Nick flying a 747 towards the china/Tibet border but, officially; paragliding is recognized as a sport, not a full sized airplane by the Chinese government, including CAAC.
Nick is a very talented and experienced athlete, Thumbs up for Nick's route..
