The letter says it all !!
I would say that getting more people onto folding bikes , using multimodal transport, instead of stuck in cars, in traffic jams wasting own time, own resources and worlds resources … is the highest priority.
If they use fake bikes or ‘proper bikes’ is less important. Some say the more on bikes (fake of original) the better - its more publicity for the originals.
But it should always be remembered that Fake makers are not trying to help anyone - they are just trying to make a quick profit, they do NOT care if the bike breaks … its not like fake watches, DVD or clothes - Fake Bikes KILL YOU !! They also can kill the very original they copy … I hope they have not killed the A-Bike.
