From transforming daily commutes to bridging the gap for non-cyclists, e-bikes are the most significant evolution in cycling since the mountain bike—and that’s a win for all.
every time i see e-bike discourse it’s some of the most inane nonsense i’ve ever read, without fail the people who complain about e-bikes are doing the exact same thing drivers do to cyclists as a whole and somehow they are incapable of self-reflection to realize this.
small electric vehicles are good, being a dick to others on the streets is bad, it’s not fucking rocket science. I don’t give a singular fuck what you’re riding in the bike path so long as it’s small enough, quiet enough, and you go a reasonable speed.
Here in sweden it’s become quite normal to have small electric moped cars (yes that’s how we define them) use the wider bike paths when convenient and like… it’s a slight annoyance at worst, because they’re work vehicles and the drivers know they’re being a bit cheeky by using the bike path and thus they try very hard to be considerate.
This is the most well balanced ebike comment I’ve ever read. You should join my community Facebook trails page, as it’s the most unhinged nonsense you’ve ever read. Ebikes have done everything from molesting and physically assaulting these poor people, to completely decimating their trails and their mental well being. Won’t somebody think of all their hard work!!? (Which PS none of them would even know what a shovel feels like in a hand)
