If anything, bicycles are now a source of pollution over there because Amsterdam has to dredge its canals to clean out all the bicycles, and that is not a joke. But the bicycles Roosegaarde is pitching aren’t just any bikes; he wants to make bikes that actually clean the air as you ride. Roosegaarde...
