These bikes are a
very good idea because they are environmentally-friendly. If many more people used these bikes instead of motorbikes or cars, the city centre would have much cleaner air and be less noisy. The bikes are energy-efficient, so less fossil fuels would be burnt and greenhouse gas emissions would be reduced.
However, I wonder how easy it would be to introduce them and make them popular in Bangkok. First of all, Bangkok is very hot and humid. Do people really want to cycle around getting sweaty? Also, the traffic in Bangkok is quite dangerous. Would it be safe to use them in the city centre? How much would it cost to have safe bicycle lanes on every street in Bangkok? Would people follow the rules and let only bicycles use them, or would the lanes be full of motorbikes and taxi drivers?
