Why? Mx61 wanted to see Prague & Castle Bran. Master 61 wanted to see Budapest & Istanbul. Mrs 61 fancied a few days at a sunny beachside hotel. Being me, I immediately planned a trip covering *all* of this! Current vibe 👇🏻

OHHHHHHH YES

Campaigners from Walk Ride GM contacted the BBC to raise the issue. They pointed out that the original report mislabelled the vehicle and risked spreading confusion and fear about legal e-bike use. Their intervention worked.
