Cars have regulation.
Motorcycles have regulation.
Bicycles... used to have regulation but don't do that you anti-green scum.

So... regulation?
Is the vehicle specced and road-legal? Does it have a a license plate? Insurance? Is the driver licensed to drive that?
No? Fine the driver.
Driver's a minor? Fine the parents.

I'm not a fan of regulation and cops have better things to do, but i think the (heavy) penalties should befall the parents.

"Get off your phones and meet people your age in real life!" "Wait not like that!"

Feels like kids can't win these days.

You let them leave the house and meet up with friends, next thing you know they are riding around on bikes! Where will it end?

[–] ThomasWilliams@lemmy.world 1 points 6 days ago

How do you think they arranged the meet ?

[–] bajabound@lemmy.world 60 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Can't wait for the e-bike gang wars of '26.

Just gotta keep making the world as hostile as possible to teenagers.

Because the school to prison pipeline can only do so much

[–] dellish@lemmy.world 1 points 5 days ago

We're trying very hard to make the world a hostile place, but climate change won't really kick in until the next generation.

[–] fluffykittycat@slrpnk.net 1 points 5 days ago

It's fucking disgusting. I have every part of this abusive shit. We have to fight back

[–] ivanafterall@lemmy.world 29 points 1 week ago (2 children)

This is such a gross oversimplification, it's insane. They could also join the military.

“We really recognise the tremendous opportunity that ebikes can offer for getting anyone, including younger people, from A to B, independently,” McLean said. “[It] is a really, really positive thing that connects them to education, to work, to social things and communities as well.

“There’s lots of benefits that go along with them, but when we have really high powered ebikes and people driving them dangerously and without helmets, then they certainly pose a significant risk.”

Seems like a pretty balanced take honestly.

If it goes faster than 28 mph, has a motor more powerful than 1000w, or lacks usable pedals, it's not an e-bike at all. People riding these things get people who ride actual electric bicycles fucked over though, which is unfortunate because electric assisted bicycles open up a lot of opportunities for people who are elderly or have other physical disabilities.

I am all for making e-moto and e-bikes legally distinct but punishing cyclists because of e-moto bullshit is a stupid decision. Also, parents who buy their kids motorcycles with no training, safety gear, or evaluation of their child's judgement should be held accountable instead of the people who are just trying to get to work on an e-bike.

How dare you blame the parents!?

I hope Australian kids annoy adults enough that this moral panic about social media dies from adults just giving up because kids resort to even more annoying behavior, that would be poetic justice.

[–] BenderRodriguez@lemmy.world 42 points 1 week ago (26 children)

Moral panic? Dude, social media is a fucking scourge. It's not some 80s Satanic panic bullshit. It seriously hurts kids.

Let me rephrase: Australians concerned about children on vehicles that can go 25mph with no requirement for a license or training.

[–] starlinguk@lemmy.world 21 points 1 week ago (10 children)

25 kph, not mph. Which isn't very fast.
