Don’t read the comments unless you want to be depressed and angry.
ITT: old people that have had one bad experience with bikes and ebikes, but know they can’t ban bikes anymore so they go after ebikes. Probably knowing several or more people who have either been injured or killed in car accidents.
Pedestrians, bikes, and ebikes are all on the same side: making sidewalks and bikelanes bigger and safer for a more walkable city without cars. Especially in car centric american cities where no normal person will ride a normal bike up steep hills or extraordinarily long commutes where ebikes excel. Or towing gear and groceries.
