>>1708400I'll bite.
*Retards don't belong in cycling lanes.
I first hated on ebikes because it used to be mostly douches with zero skill. Generally a 40yo guy that is swole but the ugly type of swole, that watery supplement yeast kind. Big and good at lifting superheavy barbell 2x but no stamina or genuine fitness. Always MTB with the widest handlebars and the fattest tyres, maximum assist. Bandana, wife beater and a backpack. The type of guy that would buy that shitty nonportable fat tyre escooter with a seat, except that guy is legit fat.
But then more casuals and old people started buying them and it gets them on a bike. They being the volume which IS important for my city to consider doing something for cyclists. They are usually careful and ride cautiosly because they mostly joyride or run errands.
So I embrace ebikes, hate the douchebags
