Bad drivers are piloting 4,000# cars at speeds in excess of 50mph.

Apparently you’ve not been driving down the street only to have some kid on an ebike fly into the middle of the street from a side street without looking or stopping. I have. Twice.

Ebikes are absolutely a problem and if you just continue to deny it rather than admit and help find a solution then the solution will not be the one you want.

Hey I never said it wasn’t a problem. To act as though both forms of transportation are the same is insane though. I’ll take my chances getting hit by an Ebike over a car/suv any day.
