If the blacks start cycling, they will dominate the sports just like what tiger woods did in golf.
Lucky blacks cannot afford to buy good quality bicycles or bikes gets stolen so it did not take off for them.

not sure if e-bike is approved in italy for use on streets. from the looks of it today, i would say yes as it's an efficient form of travel much like scooters. here's a vintage-looking e-bike made by italjet for domestic use.

They're The First Black Africans To Ride In The Tour De France

ROFF SMITH

Few places are as rich in cycling lore as the Col du Tourmalet, the brutal 6,939-foot pass in the French Pyrenees that has been a mainstay of the Tour de France since 1910. This is where history is written and legends are made.

Eugene Christophe, for example, famously broke the fork on his bike in the 1913 Tour de France but, rather than quit, jogged 6 miles down the mountain carrying his bike on his shoulder until he found a blacksmith's shop in the village of Sainte-Marie-de-Campan. He fired up the forge, repaired the damage himself, filled his pockets with bread from the local bakery and rode on, still managing to finish in seventh place when the race concluded in Paris two weeks later.

As the peloton snaked its way over the Col du Tourmalet this afternoon, on the 188-kilometer stage between Pau and Cauterets-Vallée de Saint-Savin, two equally indomitable riders were writing themselves, their country, even their continent, into the rich history of Le Tour.

Eritrean riders Daniel Teklehaimanot and Merhawi Kudus are not only the first black Africans to compete in the tour but are also racing for the first-ever African-registered team to compete in the race, the South Africa-based MTN-Qhubeka.

This one can be a good substitute for a scooter.

Ducati shows three new electric folding bicycles



After the launch of a range of electric scooters, Ducati, in association with MT Distribution, has released three electric folding bicycles as part of their urban mobility range. These are the Ducati Urban-E, while the SCR-E and SCR-E Sport come under the Scrambler Ducati brand.
A product of the Centro Stile Ducati design department, the Urban-E was a collaboration with famed Italian design house Italdesign. The Urban-E will be available from October while the SCR-E models are on sale now.
Showing an intent towards rugged use, the SCR-E and SCR-E Sport come with 20 x 4-inch wheels with the Sport variant coming with full suspension and alloy wheels while the SCR-E only has telescopic forks. A 0.37 kWh is integrated into the frame and gives up to 70 km of travel on a single charge for the SCR-E while the SCR-E Sport carries a 0.46 kWh battery and goes up to 80 km range.


Rear lights are integrated into the seat and an LCD display shows the necessary information such as battery charge and speed. A feature of the SCR-E is an ambient light sensor that turns on the lights automatically in response to lighting levels.
Coming in black or grey, the Urban-E has a 0.37 kWh battery and is painted red and styled to look like a fuel tank from one of Ducati’s full-sized motorcycles. An LCD display is integrated into the handlebars, displaying battery charge and controlling the integrated LED lights.
