Scotland's 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 grid rarely uses gas gen even though we pay gas rate - compare mix with our neighbours from CI site.

EdFoC persuaded them that bikes had their part to play. We actually sold one on scheme, a Circe Helios tandem for parent & child, which had no motor or battery. This might have saved more carbon than an e-bakfiets? 🤔 Pros & cons.
