@limelight79 30 minutes? Sounds ideal.

@limelight79 @socsa No, you should have safe options for riding an ebike for your commute.

@Successful_Try543 @hemko I'm sure there is some language/legal jurisdiction differences, but isn't suing for illegal but not criminal things and charges are for criminal acts and always brought by the state?

Operating while insolvent feels like more of a criminal thing to me, more than an illegal act.

@limelight79 @someguy3 Fixing the bike infrastructure so an ebike is suitable instead of a motor bike would help you a lot.

[–] LovesTha@floss.social 1 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

@someguy3 @VerPoilu Yeah, anything that shouldn't be on a bike path should need registration.

@someguy3 The better infrastructure I was meaning it better options that don't mingle with cars, so the slower speeds are fine.

And any trip that isn't fast enough at 20mph should involve a train ;)

@limelight79 @someguy3 Just because other infrastructure sucks doesn't mean other laws should suck, we should fix the infrastructure.

@psud I really should try a recumbent bike one day, I enjoyed my trike but the bikes always scared me. But I should give one a try.

@psud I got enough skin taken off my knee at 20kmph to make dancing at my wedding 6 weeks later sketchy.

Although that was gravel.

@psud @snekerpimp honestly the gravel rash you can get at 40kmph is pretty significant, and hills to get that much speed aren't weird.

@ExtremeDullard thinner first layer (many profiles default to a thicker first layer), colour sequence too.

Those would be the first things I'd try.

@PhatalFlaw @destructdisc increase in retail sales indirectly but quantatively measures it. Or at least it probably does, it's hard to imagine that more relaxed shoppers aren't more likely to return sooner.

 

Local big box HW store (but one of their smallest stores) has closed their front doors on main street Monday to Friday. You know the doors near all the nice footpath seating.

Car brains ruining everything, and particularly main street.

Time for a letter to the council.

@fuck_cars Something I wish Australia would change is laws prohibiting any vehicles between a 200W ebike and a full motorcycle. I'd get a lot of value from a 60kmph limited 1kW ebike. But currently to sell such a thing it would have to comply with all motorcycle requirements, and things like ABS on both wheels is really not required for such a device.a
