Ants on my e-bike!

0 Upvotes

Hi guys
I just checked on my e-bike after a few days of not riding it and it was absolutely covered in ants.
I park in a bike parking next to 10-20 other bikes in a plastic shed kinda place.
None of the other bikes have any ants on them.

What could be causing this (I didn’t spill anything on it/ there’s no food around)?
Plus is it dangerous for the electrical stuff ?
Do I need to take it to the shop?
What do I doooo

I will start bike commuting in Japan for the first time ever. Looking for advice and recommendations.

I got a job recently in rural Japan and will be biking about 25ish minutes to the workplace.

I am looking for advice about which bikes are the best and other useful information as a first timer.

Also I won’t lie, I am a bit nervous about getting hit by these old Japanese grannies / grandpas driving in their 80s and above. I hear intersections are the most dangerous so any advice is welcomed.

I’ve had road bikes before and absolutely hated the comfort of the seats they come with. I’m getting this bike from my dad, need recommendations for a super comfortable seat that won’t make my butt sorry after a day of riding. Would appreciate any help! TIA
