Technology and tourism collided for me last weekend and — in the process — provided some insight to how one benefits the other.

My wife and I were introduced to the economic, environmental and leisure advantages of e-bikes during a visit to France a couple of years ago.

In the interim, rapid advances in technology have brought these machines to levels where a comfortable distance of up to 100km can be covered before a recharge.
