Blazing Reader,

Here in the Netherlands, Google has released hundreds of prototypes of self-driving... bicycles.

The average Dutchie already pedals 9,000 kilometres a year. So, what better place to test out this latest innovation?

Check out the two-minute video below to see these self-driving bikes in action on the streets of Amsterdam.

Unbelievable! The Dutch never wear bike helmets.

Manley is the author of Much Ado About Corona, All The Humans Are Sleeping and other works of philosophical fiction that are "so completely engaging that you find yourself alternately laughing, gasping, hanging on for dear life."
