The kind you see ripping down sidewalks at 60km/h are often highly illegal in many places and, depending on local laws, might not even be classified as ebikes and may require a licence.
I see these on sidewalks and bike lanes. I see young teenagers on them going really fast without helmets. I always worry too much.
Thank you for the info.
That's a good point. I am such a weakling going up hills on my bike. Lol. The ride down is worth it though.
Thank you for the info.
I've seen videos on YouTube of cyclists tell people on e-bike to get off the bike lane. This was years ago though. I never seen this happen in real life living in NYC or visiting LA. This is the main reason why I asked.
That is interesting. I always assumed biking is the most efficient and beneficial but especially for long distances I can see your point.
Thank you for the info.
Thank you for your input.
People in cars are often too impatient and callously ambivalent about anyone’s safety who’s not in a car. Idk what it is about hopping behind a wheel that makes people so impatient and mean spirited.
It's a combination of power tripping and being protected by the car. Car drivers know they can kill someone in front of them and they have a barrier between them and the outside world.
I should've realized that TBH.
Either way, the point is the same, more lanes do not help.
I don't buy anything at Walmart and I probably only been in one less than 5 times.
Walmart specifically chose areas where people needed values, people barely getting by financially, and don't have a lot of time and energy.
I get the point of this post but putting the blame on consumers is exactly the public relations speak used by these corporations.
If we are just limiting the scope to three years than I assume building another lane causes more congestion short term anyway. Construction of new lanes slows down speed limits due to construction laws and construction eventually has to shut down the lane over at some point.
I would like to know what this community thinks about e-bikes. Specifically are your opinions about e-bikes on the same level as regular bikes or are they closer to motorcycles which a lot of people in this community also dislikes.
Well yeah! My uncle works for Nintendo!
No but he knows his idiot cult followers believe what he wants them to believe.
I don't like noise pollution but I wasn't even thinking of that. Good point.
Thank you for your input.
