Young adults choose e-bikes over cars or public transport
Driven by health and environmental concerns, 49 per cent of 25 to 34-year-olds said they are more likely to buy an e-bike now than a year ago. The study, by the E-Bike Positive campaign, indicates a nationwide shift towards sustainable travel. However, it reveals the need for education on the risks of unsafe, non-approved e-bike parts. More than half of the 2,000 surveyed said they would buy non-manufacturer-approved e-bike components from online marketplaces if significantly cheaper. Duncan Dollimore, head of cycling UK campaigns, said: "We need to do all that we can to clearly explain the difference between safe road legal e-bikes and potentially unsafe aftermarket alternatives." Jonathan Harrison, association of cycle traders director, said: "Every cyclist deserves the confidence that comes from buying certified, road-legal products, backed by proper advice and ongoing support."

Alleged discriminatory incident mars Minnesota-Vancouver MLS game
A discriminatory act made have been the cause of a sudden, temporary stoppage during Sunday's Major League Soccer game in St. Paul between the Minnesota United and the Vancouver Whitecaps. Details are still coming together, but MNUFC has addressed the situation with a public statement following their 3-1 loss to snap an eight-match home winning streak at Allianz Field. "Minnesota United is aware of an on-field incident involving one of our players and an allegation of a violation of the League's Non-Discrimination policy," the statement reads. "Harassment or discriminatory behavior has no place in our sport, and we condemn all forms of harassment or discrimination. We are in close communication with Major League Soccer and will refrain from making any further comments as the League reviews the matter. Jonathan Harrison, who covers the Loons for Bring Me The News and is a member of the MNUFC radio broadcast team, says the incident occurred during second half stoppage time when the refs blew the play dead following an apparent altercation away from the ball on the other side of the field. Both coaches were called together by the officials, which Harrison says never happens in the middle of a game unless something serious has occurred. While the Loons haven't disclosed which player was involved in the potentially discriminatory behavior, Harrison says the moment in question appeared to involve an altercation between Minnesota midfielder and left-back Joseph Rosales and Vancouver winger Emmanuel Sabbi. The Whitecaps issued a statement that effectively mirrors the one provided by Minnesota. This is a developing story.
