Please can we call non-compliant electric cycles what they are 'illegal unregistered electric motorcycles' used as ebikes. There is no such thing as illegal ebikes as clearly defined by the EAPC regs.

Yes, ebikes, on average, kill zero of them, and cars kill a lot.

there are many ebikes that....still require muscle power to operate. You just go farther.
People think getting an electric bike means you get less of a workout but they don't understand the Jevons paradox.
This is how I feel about my electric bike. I just biked from the Ferry building to the Sutro Baths with my 4 year old and my understanding of SF's layout has grown immensely.

because im a chaos gremlin: subsidies for ebikes but only the fatbikes version
Now that we're in Woke 3.0, what's your dream transportation policy or idea? Sure, ban cars, but what would you like to see in your fantasy version of events? There are no wrong answers, only good and absolutely outstanding answers. Go for it.

So, it turns out that the government is willing to tackle pavement parking - if the parking is bikes.

In Copenhagen, to return a dockless shared bike, you have to check the app to see nearby available locations, which are determined by how many bikes are already there. Why can’t other cities require the same when everything is geotagged?

The narrow window that has defined what a cyclist is and what kind of bike you should ride has been the downfall of the bicycle industry.
Ebikes are changing people's minds about what is possible on 2 and 3 wheels.
Cycling isn't just for one "in group", its for everyone.

In a world in which we do in fact believe it is desirable for people to move from cars to ebikes in as large numbers as possible, we find focusing on antisocial behaviour committed by ebike users to be, let's put it this way, stupid.

I mean, thats a very good reason to include ebikes, but I dont really see it as a reason to exclude analog bikes.

Okay. Allow me to try and explain why those of us who generally favour more active travel have an allergy to such ideas. I hope yous will internalise this message calmly without flipping out Bluesky-style.
Cars kill over a thousand people in the UK each year. Ebikes, on average, kill zero.

NEW: Ministers are consulting on how to Ministers end the “wild west” system of some parked e-bikes blocking pavements, which will also look at possible ways to crack down on antisocial behaviour like cyclists jumping red lights.

Ebikes would hit a lot harder if we'd get over ownership and expanded biketown to a free use program.

No. The Beach Cities of LA County are extremely hilly. Arterials are graded for trucks, but the side streets we relegate kids to have multiple 16% grades. Ratio of bike mass:children's mass is larger than for adults. Now add school books, sports gear, musical instruments. Ebikes are child transport

Los Angeles residents, you have until January 1 to turn in your motor vehicles. Possession of a private car will thereafter be a capital crime. You and your family will be assigned the appropriate number of those nice Dutch ebikes with the front buckets.

One thing I really like is when world class racers like Kasia Niewiadoma and Maghalie Rochette post videos of themselves running errands on ebikes. Hopefully that helps "normalize" them for some of the sport biker crowd.
